French Immersion - Benefits

Benefits

Data shows that students enrolled in French Immersion programs often show superior academic achievement than their regular-programmed peers.

Students participate in French Immersion programs to gain employability-related skills and to increase job opportunities.

Students in French Immersion demonstrate a superior level of mental flexibility, which is an ability to think more independently of words and to have a higher awareness of concept formation as well as a more diversified intelligence than students in the regular program.

Data illustrates that students in French Immersion programs also have a linguistic advantage as they are able to adopt two different perspectives, offering alternative ways to look at the same information.

French Immersion students also have a deeper appreciation and respect for various cultures. In addition, they also gain more fullfillment in learning a new language.

Students in French immersion programs also have greater opportunity to understand their own culture or their own nation. For example, Canada's identity is based on the fact that it holds two official languages, English and French. French Immersion students have the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of what it means to be Canadian through the French Immersion program.
