French Immersion

French Immersion Programming

Alberta Education recognizes that English and French are the official languages of Canada. As French is one of Canada's two official languages, learning French is considered important to enhance opportunities for living and working throughout Canada and the world, as well as to foster a greater understanding between French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians. Alberta Education encourages opportunities for all Alberta students to learn French by making available alternative French language programs such as French immersion and French as a second language courses.

Beginning in September 2020, École Queen Alexandra School opened its first French Immersion Kindergarten class. 

You and your child do not need to know any French prior to starting the program. The program was built to support French language learning for children, without their parents having any prior French skills. Teachers support children in their French learning journey from Kindergarten to grade 12!
