French Immersion
Maple Ridge Secondary's French Immersion program offers students the opportunity to learn subjects in an immersion context and to be able to attain a high level of fluency in the language by the end of grade 12. The program intends to offer the best available courses and curriculum to compliment the studies of a student who would like to graduate one day with a bilingual provincial Dogwood certificate.
Students in this program will take four courses in French during their grade 8 year. During grade 9 and 10, students will take three courses in French. Over the grade 11 and 12 years, students will take a total of three courses in French spread over two years.
