A peek inside the engaging French classes at CGS
Learning a second language is something most parents want for their children. How a school handles language instruction can determine which school parents chose. For many, French Immersion is too much of a commitment and following the TDSB model of waiting to introduce French instruction until Grade 4, seems too little. At Children’s Garden School they are striking a good balance, introducing French in the preschool years with two classes per week and increasing to four classes per week in JK through Grade 3. CGS is pleased to welcome Rim Khemis to the faculty this year. Rim hails from Paris and more recently from Lycée Français in Toronto. Rim has brought her comfort and facility with French to CGS students. The children are currently working in an 80% immersion environment during their French classes. Rim’s goal is a 100% immersion environment for all grade levels by December. Instruction is playful and engaging. Want more information?
