École Maple Creek Middle School has a long rich history with our French Immersion program.
Our school is part of the District's Early French Immersion program an alternative program that enables students to:
- Become functionally bilingual, that is:
- To be able and willing to participate comfortably in French and English conversations;
- To possess the requirements that would allow them to pursue further education appropriate to their abilities and interests, with French as the language of instruction;
- To accept employment where the working language is French;
Gain insight into the common attitudes and values of French-speaking communities.
- Achieve equivalent levels of learning in all subject areas, regardless of the language of instruction;
In order for students to truly become functionally bilingual they need to participate in the French Immersion program from K-12.
