Bilingual Education
Westboro Academy offers students a truly bilingual education. Our unique daily structure ensures that students in Grades 1-8 receive half of their instruction each day in each of Canada’s two official languages. Equal time is given to each language and students thrive in the bilingual environment. Our Kindergarten students attend each day completely in French. This allows them the time and exposure needed to acquire the French skills to succeed in the upper years.
The English portion of the day includes English Language Arts, Mathematics and Moral Education. The curriculum we use follows the Ontario Ministry of Education expectations and we use this as the baseline from which we enrich our program.
The French portion of the day follows the Ministry of Quebec’s program for Français langue maternelle (French First Language), and the Ontario curriculum for études sociales (Social Studies). We use the provincial expectations as our minimum standard.
Many of our courses are taught by specialist teachers and may be in English or French. These specialist courses include Science, Music, Art and Physical Education.
