Elementary French Immersion

New for September 2025

All French Immersion Elementary applicants, please submit the Intent to Register form. 

Due to the high number of registrations for our Junior Kindergarten French Immersion program, we may need to implement a lottery system to equitably allocate spaces. Our goal is to ensure a fair and transparent process for all families. All Intent to Register received by January 29th, 2025, are eligible for the lottery. If you miss the lottery, please proceed to fill in the Intent to Register and you will be added to a waitlist. 

For schools where a lottery is not required, all Intent to Register will be accommodated by February.  Intent to Register received after January will be accepted if space is available or placed on a waitlist. 

Waitlists will be ordered by date of Intent to Register receipt.

Non-Catholic Intent to Register submissions will be accepted and placed on a waitlist in order of receipt.  A status update will be provided in June.  Final decisions may take until early September.

Other grades may be capacity constrained as well, please see the following flow chart for additional information regarding Elementary French Immersion registration. Intent to Register is required for all grades.

St. Clair Catholic District School Board currently offers a successful French Immersion program in several of our schools for students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. 

We believe students enrolled in this program not only acquire strong language skills in Canada’s two official languages, but also receive a rich academic foundation formed in an affirming Catholic faith community.
