When it comes to deciding where to continue, after having invested at least 6 years in a French Immersion setting, the decision should be simple: Harry Ainlay High School’s French Immersion program is the logical choice. We offer a full French Immersion program in which all the academic core subjects are offered in French. While enhancing his or her French skills in a program in which teachers follow the success of their students, a student also benefits from all the options, clubs and sport teams a large school has to offer. The French Immersion program is, in reality, a small school within a larger one. Harry Ainlay students who complete the requirements for the continuing French Immersion and late French Immersion programs, are eligible for the district French Immersion Certificate. In addition to this certificate of accomplishment, Edmonton Public Schools will also facilitate the writing of the DELF exam. This official French Language Diploma will assist students who wish to obtain international recognition of their language skills in more than 160 countries. Harry Ainlay’s French Immersion program is for students who see the learning of French as a life- time investment.

Students gain knowledge and skills in the theatre, as well as develop cooperative skills working as part of a team to create an artistic vision.
