French Immersion

The study of French is an important part of the secondary school curriculum. French is not only one of Canada’s two official languages, but is also widely used around the world. The Algoma District School Board offers a French Immersion Programme at Sir James Dunn and a Francais programme at Chapleau High School.

Sir James Dunn C.& V.S.

At Sir James Dunn courses are offered in grades 9 through 12, with a particular emphasis on mathematics and science courses at the senior grades. The teachers in the programme are experienced and dedicated and offer a wide variety of course: francais, geographie, histoire, affaires et commerce, citoyennete, carrieres, anthropologie, sciences, chimie, physique, biologie, calcul, gestion des donnees, geometrie, and so forth.

Upon successfully completing 13 courses offered through the French Immersion programme, including 4 credits in Francais, students will be awarded a bilingual certificate.

The French Immersion programme is an integral part of Sir James Dunn and students in the programme participate in all activities, sports, and committees along with the rest of the school population.
