| PROGRAM DESCRIPTION |

| Information | Secondary French Immersion (8-12) W.L. Seaton Secondary French Immersion is a vibrant program with students coming from both the Elementary French Immersion and Late French Immersion programs. Along with participating in quality courses in French that parallel the English curriculum, students in the French Immersion program have opportunities for cultural events, trips, exchanges, and visits to French immersion elementary schools to help the younger students and to build a sense of community. |
| Program Goals | Secondary French Immersion (8-12) The main goal of the French Immersion program is to offer the opportunity for non-francophone students to become bilingual in French and in English. At WL Seaton, we also feel that it is important that students have access to authentic French linguistic and cultural experiences, that make students feel welcome and receive the support that they need for academic success and personal development. Upon completion of the French Immersion Program, students who fulfill the BC Ministry of Education’s graduation requirements will receive a Double Dogwood, thus graduating with two diplomas. |
