Extended French
Grand Erie began to offer Extended French to Grade 9 students at Simcoe Composite Secondary School in the 2020-21 school year. In each subsequent year, this program will continue to grow if there is sufficient student demand.
In Extended French in secondary, students are taught French as a subject and French serves as the language of instruction in at least one other subject. At the secondary level there are academic courses in Extended French in Grades 9 and 10, and university preparation courses in Grades 11 and 12. Students accumulate seven credits in French: four are for French language courses; three courses are in other subjects taught in French. Schools may grant a certificate in Extended French if the student fulfills the requirement.
