Our vision:  We value the importance of strong learning partnerships between students, teachers, parents and the community, while wanting each student to be successful to his/her greatest capacity.  We value the development of a positive attitude toward learning while celebrating and enhancing personal strengths.

 

Our Mascot:  The Grizzly exhibits patience, intelligence, independence and bravery.

French Immersion Programming

The French Immersion Program begins in Kindergarten and promotes both French and English proficiency for students whose parents may or may not have a French background. Although the French Immersion Program curriculum is the same as the English curriculum, the language of instruction is predominantly French.

École Parc Élémentaire is excited to offer single-track French Immersion programming for our students. How single-track French Immersion differs from dual-track:

  • French is used in many aspects of the school day: announcements, extracurricular activities, displays, school songs, celebrations, etc.
  • English Language Arts is taught as a subject and begins in Grade 3.
  • Students are more likely to speak French outside of the classroom setting.
  • Most school resources are in French, contributing to a full immersion experience.
