Enrolment into the FI Program in Grade 1 is limited to a maximum of 40 students per designated FI site. While every effort is made to accommodate all FI applications, available space and staffing will determine how many students can be registered.

Find additional information about Grade 1 FI in the SCDSB in this presentation, and contact your FI school with any further questions.


NOTE: The designated sites for FI may change during the program, which may also include splitting the program between two different sites.

Information for families

 

Grade 1 FI family information nights are held annually in advance of the application process for the following school year. This year, FI family information nights will be held in-person throughout the month of November at the respective FI school locations. Dates and times of these sessions can be found below. 

If you have any questions, please contact your French Immersion school or [email protected].
