French Immersion Update

Students in our Grade 12 French immersion classes will have an opportunity to complete the B2 level Diplome d’études de la langue française (DELF) exam. The DELF is the internationally recognized standard for language accreditation in French. The exam takes the form of a written and oral exam. Students who successfully complete the DELF will receive a certificate from the Ministry of International Education of France attesting to their French-language abilities. This opportunity is offered at the cost of $100 to families.

There are 2 occasions for grade 12 students to complete the exam through the CBE DELF Testing Centre this school year on November 16 and April (date to be confirmed). Because the exam is given all around the world on this day, the exam starts at 10:00 AM sharp and there is no flexibility around late arrival on the day or to move or make up the exam at another time. Student Registration for the November exam can be completed up until October 7th, 2026 (this coming Wednesday), and is through this form: DELF B2 - novembre 2026 | DELF B2 - November 2026 – Fill out form.  For more information regarding the DELF B2 exam please contact Mme.
