Bienvenue! We invite you and your grade four student to consider enrolling in one of the Near North District School Board’s extended French programs, which begin at the start of grade 5.

Research confirms that second language learning strengthens first-language skills. As well, learning a second language enhances in students the reasoning, problem-solving and creative-thinking skills necessary for our 21st century learners, providing them with a distinct advantage in their future pathways.

2025-26 REGISTRATION OPEN

Near North District School Board is accepting school registrations through the online application process found on the right side of this page.
If you have any questions regarding the registration process or require assistance please call 705-472-8170 or email info@nearnorthschools.ca.

Inclusive Programming

The extended French program is a French language learning option that is open and available to all students, including students with special needs and identified students. Student IEPs will outline the supports necessary for student success.

Culturally Enriching

In this program French is taught not only as a subject, but is also used as the language of instruction in other content areas, thus providing an immersion experience that offers dynamic and culturally-rich learning opportunities.

Secondary Pathways

At the secondary level, schools may grant a certificate in extended French when the student has completed a sequence of four courses in extended French and three courses in other subjects taught in French.
