French Immersion Program
Introduction
John F. Ross is the designated secondary school in Guelph for French Immersion courses. The aim of the French Immersion program is to develop and refine the students’ ability to communicate in French as well as to expand their knowledge of the language through the study of Francophone literature. By the end of the four-year program, students will be able to participate easily in conversations and discussions; will be able to take courses at the college or university level in which French is the language of instruction; and will be able to accept employment in which French is the working language. Students, who graduate with a minimum overall average of 80% in their French immersion courses, will be granted a French Immersion Certificate “with honours”.
