我的理解是PUBLIC FRENCH是法语学校, 大部分学生母语是法语
FRENCH IMMERSION是英语学校开设的法语班, 大部分学生的母语是英语

Public French 是法语公立学校；与 Public English 对应。

Public English 学校里开设的法语课程包括：Core French 和 French Immersion.

Core French：就是正常的作为外语的法语课程。
French Immersion：法语教学占很大比例。

Public French是纯法语学校，学生、父母讲法语，所有作业、给家长的信都是法语。
French Immersion是设在英语学校，学生从SK到G3（早期）、或G4到G6（中期），老师上课讲法语，作业是法语，但下课后同学间、老师和家长之间讲英语，给家长的信是英语。

然后孩子8年级以后法语一停，大学时候照样重头学起。。。

错过的只是童年。。。

It is partialy true for French Immersion. I saw many grade 5 students still speak very poor French. It is really relying on intelligence of the student. So if it is possible, send them to French school if you are living in 100% English area such as Kanata and Barheaven.


Rule number one: The Kids MUST speak French after class.

For French scholl student, Grade 6 student's French shall be good enough to switch to English school except you would like go to French University. And they would not forget it in their life.

For French Immersion need stay until Grade 8 and many would still have problem keep it.

For parents can't speak French, send grade one kids to French school is not at good idea at my opinion. Because kids have to learn everything in French and you can't help them. It is important for kid do well in grade one, so they would build confident for themselves. Good starting point is middle French immersion at grade 4. At that point, they already do English well and for good student they already have a good learning habit. You can let them try one term, put some money for private French tutor, if they can’t keep up, pull back to English programme. In middle French, there is still English class and math is in English, so kid would keep up with their English and math.
Since parents usually only send good student to MFI and would pull them back if they can’t take it. The kids stay there usually are the best from English programme.

I believe you are talking about French Immersion not French school. You don't send children to French school in Grade one like French immersion; you send them to junior kindergarten. And unlike English school, the two year kindergarten in French school is full time (whole day, certainly caused by strong English environment at here). So, in Grade one, their French are good enough to handle most communication.

Even for French Immersion, I disagree with you on starting at Grade 4. For any language leaning after 10 years old it would be Foreign language and never reach native speaking(母语) level.

In many Euro countries and mideast, it is very common elementray scholl students are learning 2 or even 3 languages. Children could handle it very well. After all, age under 10 is the best time to learn language.

Do you think your kid only need to be good at French.
