French Immersion at Collège Stonewall Collegiate
The goal of the French Immersion Program is to develop proud, confident, engaged, plurilingual global citizens.
The French Immersion Program enables students to interact spontaneously, autonomously, and confidently in French with pride and ease. They seek opportunities to engage in the Francophone community. Their identity as Canadian citizens, competent in both French and English, creates lifelong opportunities and fosters openness to other languages and cultures.
At Collège Stonewall Collegiate, we aim to develop language fluency through authentic learning and practice, so that students may confidently use their language skills beyond high school. As such, students are required to speak French consistently in class. Our program also offers special extracurricular and cultural experiences in French to support language development outside of the classroom.
French Immersion students who continue their French studies to Grade 12 can earn a French Immersion diploma upon graduation and a DELF Language Diploma, through the DELF Centre for Manitoba School Divisions (http://delfscolairemb.ca/). Graduating students are eligible for a variety of bursaries, scholarships, and grants through community and cultural organizations (ex. Canadian Parents for French, French for the Future, Conseil Jeunesse Manitoba).
Students must successfully complete Français 20S, 30S, and 40S and ensure that at least three more of their four-credit courses in Grades 10, 11, and 12 are taught in French, with at least one of these at the Grade 11 or 12 levels. Provincial graduation requirements can be found here (https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/policy/gradreq/docs/grad_req-fi.pdf).

Learning a new language opens doors to knowledge, improves communication skills and provides an advantage in the increasingly competitive workplace. – P. Prehaut, Canadian Parents for French

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. Steve Jobs
