Programs We have regular English programming for kindergarten to grade 6. The students have the opportunity to take French as a Second Language beginning at grade 4. The French Immersion program is available for kindergarten to grade 5 in 2008-09, and will be fully phased in (K-6) by 2009-10. Children may enter at either kindergarten or grade 1 with no previous knowledge of French. A variety of special education programs are available to help provide students the type of support they may require as specified in their Individual Program Plans. We have a strong music and drama program at Sifton. As well, the school is well equipped to help students meet the outcomes of the Information and Communication Technology curriculum. Regular English Program École Sifton School is becoming a dual-track school, which means that over time, two complete programs from kindergarten to grade 6 will be offered in the same building, one in French and the other in English. By hearing and interacting with the students and teachers of the Immersion program, and enjoying the professional French cultural performances and events, the children in the regular English program gain an appreciation and acceptance of another language and culture while receiving their education fully in English. Why Consider French Immersion? Open the door of your child’s future in the world of business, higher education, and travel, while at the same time broadening an understanding of other nationalities and cultures. French Immersion students have consistently scored as well or better than other students on provincial achievement tests in all subject areas, while becoming proficient in a second language at the same time. Who can access the French Immersion Program?
