French Immersion Program

Ecole Greenfield School is a dual-track elementary school, which means that two programs from Kindergarten to Grade 6 are offered in the same school: English and French Immersion.  To complement our strong academic programming, we offer Daily Physical Education and a vibrant Arts program with specialists in both Art and Music.

French immeresion is offered for Kindergarten to Grade 6 and children may enter at either Kindergarten or Grade 1 with no previous knowledge of French.  Students enrolled in French Immersion at Edmonton Public Schools receive 100% of their instruction in French in Kindergarten, Grade 1 and part of Grade 2. Students begin formal English Language Arts instruction in January of Grade 2, and continue to receive English Language Arts in Grades 3 to 12. French is the language of instruction in many subjects throughout a child's schooling in the French Immersion program.

Late French Immersion is also available starting in Grade 7 for students with no previous knowledge of French. Information about the Late French Immersion program is available at McKernan school.
