Why French Immersion

Immersion programs maximize a child’s natural curiosity, ability to learn another language, and appreciation of other cultures and points of view. Research on child development shows this window of opportunity is highest between birth and age 6, so the earlier the better!

Beyond the academic benefits, language immersion also enhances a number of cognitive, creative, and social abilities from focus, critical thinking, and problem solving to open-mindedness, empathy, and interpersonal skills.

COGNITIVE AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT

Students enrolled in immersion programs have enhanced listening and study skills, and demonstrate academic achievement with higher scores in reading and verbal tests as well as in other subjects such as math and science. circumstances throughout life.

Students in immersion environments speak their second language as naturally as their first. Results from research show that these children not only learn the second language, but also their own language with clarity, and that they excel on both foreign-language and native-language standardized tests.

Cultural Growth

Students in immersion programs establish a keen understanding of the world around them. They are exposed to a global world view in which they develop an expanded vision of other cultures, insights into their own, and new and different ways of thinking.

Enhanced Personal Opportunities

Bilingualism helps children build self-esteem, creativity, problem-solving skills and math ability, and gives them a head start for professional and economic opportunities.
