LANGUAGE LEARNING IN LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL

At Lower Secondary level, students who need additional English language support take classes in either small groups or a one-to-one setting. These classes replace French or history lessons.

Students who have previously benefitted from English language support (and no longer require extra classes) will study either French, information technology, or lessons in research and presentation skills.

In Years 8 and 9, learners studying Spanish may take additional, higher-level classes instead of French.
