Join us for a presentation about the Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs at CFIS to discover our nurturing and engaging approach, where learning is filled with fun and excitement. Our youngest learners, starting from 19 months old, dive into French immersion right from the beginning. Discover the rich and dynamic learning environment and our focus on building language through meaningful, engaging interactions.
Join us for a presentation on the Embark program, an early transitional immersion program, offering entry to French immersion from Grades 1-3 and welcoming students who have no previous French language experience. Discover how our individualized and small group approach fosters development, allows students to become fully bilingual students, and equips them with the gift of language that opens doors to post-secondary opportunities and beyond.
