understand the value of learning French, particularly as a tool for personal, intellectual and social growth
understand and appreciate francophone cultures
develop intercultural communication skills which are beneficial to them as global citizens

French: Communication and Culture is offered in schools with a regular English program:

• Kindergarten to Grade 3 - Early Start French
• Grades 4 to 8 - French: Communication and Culture (mandatory for all Pembina Trails students)
• Grade 6 (at Henry G. Izatt School) – Intensive French
• Grades 9 to 12 – French is an optional credited course
