French
French in the pre-school environment helps students to naturally transfer into French Extensive or French Immersion programs. Exposure to French at an early age allows for a steady growth of knowledge and skills. Studying French as a second helps students strengthen their first-language skills and enhance their critical and creative thinking abilities. We provide students with fundamental communication skills, an understanding of the nature of the language.
