French Immersion
The District provides a variety of French Immersion programs at a number
of schools. All programs at the lower grade levels feed to a
single continuing French Immersion program at designated senior high
schools.
Information sessions are held for parents. Sessions on Early
French Immersion, which begins at the kindergarten level, are held in late
October or early November. These sessions are traditionally
scheduled in Montague
and various locations in Charlottetown and Stratford. One or more sessions on Late French Immersion
is held in
the Charlottetown area prior to registration. Dates and times for
information sessions are advertised in local media.
Dates for kindergarten registration are set provincially, and parents
register for Early French Immersion at the same time as they register a
child for kindergarten. Kindergarten registration is currently
held in November. French Immersion attendance zones are outlined in
regulation. Parents of potential French
Immersion students, if unsure of the school zone, may contact
Transportation Services.
The process for Mid (Gulf Shore only - grade 4)
and Late French Immersion (grade 7) Registration involves a registration
form, and is handled through schools at the grade 6 level. |
French Monitor Program
The French Monitor program is an initiative coordinated through the
provincial Department of Education. It provides full and part-time
assistance to French teachers within schools.
Monitors may be hired from anywhere within Canada. Additional
information is available on the CMEC web site.

wishing to distribute materials or information to schools must first
receive approval through a request to the Curriculum Delivery
Department. |
Research Requests from External Agencies

and will consider research requests from external agencies. A
research-based interest wishing to conduct research involving schools must first obtain a letter of approval from the District before

International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme
The IB Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year curriculum,
primarily aimed at students aged 16 to 19. It leads to a
qualification that is widely recognized by the world’s leading
universities. Students learn more than a collection of facts.
The Diploma Programme prepares students for university and
encourages them to: ask challenging questions, learn how to learn,
develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture, and
develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from
other countries and cultures.
Charlottetown Rural and
