French Immersion

French Immersion consists of programs and courses designed for English-speaking students in which French is the language of instruction and as much as possible, the means of communication in the school. French immersion studies serve to achieve the Essential Graduation Learnings, and enable students to function in French upon completion of high school.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, two options in French immersion studies are available: Early French Immersion (EFI), beginning at Kindergarten and Late French Immersion (LFI), beginning at Grade 7.

EFI extends from Kindergarten to Level III, beginning at the Kindergarten level with approximately 100 percent of instruction in French. With the introduction of English Language Arts at Grade 3 and other subjects in English, the percentage of instructional time in French decreases through the years of schooling.

LFI extends from Grade 7 to Level III with approximately 75 percent of instruction in French in Grades 7 and 8. The percentage of instructional time in French decreases through the years of schooling.

Time Allotments

Early French Immersion

Late French Immersion

Recommended Time Allotments

Organizational and instructional strategies employed by kindergarten teachers (e.g., interdisciplinary learning experiences, learning centres, blocked-time approach to scheduling) make it difficult to determine exact percentages of time for the various curriculum areas. Thus, the time allotments recommended above should be viewed as approximations.

Recommended Time Allotments

* At the Grade 3 Level, where instruction is provided in English language arts and French language arts, this time allotment should be increased to 35%.

Organizational and instructional strategies employed by primary teachers (e.g., interdisciplinary learning experiences, learning centres, blocked-time approach to scheduling) make it difficult to determine exact percentages of time for the various curriculum areas. Thus, the time allotments recommended above should be viewed as approximations.

Enseignement religieux (Roman Catholic)

The Intermediate Program is comprised of the third cycle of the Born of the Spirit series. The Grade 7 Program examines our relationship with God from the time of Abraham and Moses to Jesus, who revealed the Father and continues to live among us in the Holy Spirit. The Grade 8 Program assists young people in articulating what they believe through the study of the Creed, Scriptures, Church teaching; helps them encounter Christ in the Sacraments; and helps them live a moral, Christian life. The Grade 9 Program assists students in arriving at a new understanding of their faith by responding to their doubts and questions, helping them to discover new meaning in keeping with their developing intellectual ability and by providing an experience of Christian community.

The program is organized around the following concepts:

• the ultimate reality of an invisible and loving God
• our relationship with God through Jesus and the Spirit
• the Church, the Sacraments and sacramental life
• Christian morality and decision making
• the developing faith of the adolescent
• the adolescent response to the world issues

Sciences humaines

At the intermediate level, the Social Studies Program uses an interdisciplinary approach, and specific topics are organized thematically and chronologically when appropriate.

Specific topics deal with real-life issues and respond to the students' need for relevance. It requires young adolescents to examine their value systems in light of the expectations of their society, and deals specifically with rights and responsibilities with respect to the individual, community and the natural environment.

It includes the use of case studies, role models, current events and practical projects that cater to students' needs, interests, and abilities.

The Program is organized around the following areas of study:

• Living in North America
• Exploring World Cultures
• History of Canada from the Confederation years to the present
