With few exceptions, Immersion programs are suitable for all children. The only children for whom Immersion may not be suitable are those with poor auditory discrimination or auditory memory. French Immersion grads have more options. They can study at French or English language universities. Universities recognize French Immersion courses in the same way the recognize courses taken in English for admission to various faculties and programs.
Scholarships are available from various sources for study in French or English.
Grads from Immersion are eligible for entrance scholarships and bursaries through the regular application process. Immersion grads have the added benefit of being bilingual. If Immersion is not available, children do very well in the Basic French program. If they have enrichment opportunities, they will continue to develop their French skills. Students moving into the English program find that although the words are different the learning outcomes are the same so they make a smooth transition.
