FI to IB - Is it Worth the Try?
➔ Leaving the French Immersion program for IB is a very difficult decision for students and parents and we understand the anxieties faced. Students are leaving a specialty program, their friends, and sometimes their school community, for another. ➔ We have options that French Immersion students can select when building their GCVI timetable. These current options have been created with the IB Team, the French Language teachers as well as with the administrators. ➔ Senior students are given the opportunity to write the DELF (diploma awarded by the French Ministry of Education to prove the French-language skills of non-French candidates).
