Burnaby Schools hosts Late French Immersion Programs in two elementary schools, Armstrong Elementary and Marlborough Elementary, with entry starting at grade 6. The programs provide an opportunity for interested students from across the District to learn the French language in an effective and intensive manner. Completing the Late French Immersion Program in grades 6-7 provides students the opportunity to enter the French Immersion Program at one of our three secondary schools offering French Immersion, with those students graduating from the program with a Dual Dogwood Diploma.
For more information on the Late French Immersion Program, please visit our website https://burnabyschools.ca/late-french-immersion/
