French As A Second Language (FSL)

French as a Second Language Programs in the HWCDSB

“ A considerable body of research shows that second-language learning provides significant cognitive and academic benefits. It is known to enhance first-language and overall literacy skills and to provide a foundation for the learning of additional languages. There is also evidence that learning another language can help in the development of interpersonal and social skills. “ (A Framework for French as a Second Language in Ontario Schools K-12, 2013)
