In French Immersion, students receive instruction in French in a variety of subjects from a teacher who speaks French fluently.
To quality for the French Immersion Certificate, students must take at least 10 credits in French Immersion (out of the 30 credits needed for the OSSD). These include:
- 4 French Immersion French (1 credit per grade)
- Grade 9 Geography
- Grade 10 Civics and Careers
- Grade 10 History
- At lest three other courses taught in the French language (excluding third languages since the language of instruction should be the third language)
*Cooperative Education can qualify as 1 French Immersion credit if students are working with a French-speaking community partner in a two-credit co-op program.
