Today is French Language Day. Established by the United Nations in 2010, French Language Day celebrates multilingualism and cultural diversity. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the history, culture and use of the French language worldwide.

French Language in the WRDSB

In the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), we are proud to offer two pathways for students to learn French and grow their French language skills.

Beginning in Grade 1, all students benefit from French language learning in core French. In Grade 2, students continue their French learning journey in either the core French or the French immersion pathway.
