Guest Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi, I'm just wondering if people who take the French immersion program in Elementary School, can also go to an IB school in order to obtain their IB diploma, and Certificate of Bilingual Studies. Is this possible within York Region, or must the student choose from either IB or a French immersion dedicated school. Thanks, Xyphn Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 IB offers a bilingual diploma but you have to ask the school if they offer it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of the Pickles Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) In actual IB you will only have 2 french courses maximum that you can do. So most of your french courses will actually be coming from grades 9-10. It might be possible to go to a french school in grades 9-10 then transfer straight to IB in grade 11, I think it's worth looking in to. Make sure you do grade 11 intro to functions though while you're in grade 10 if you decide to do this since it's a prerequisite for IB math. I believe 7 french credits (including 4 FEF courses) are required for an extended french certificate and 10 (including 4 FIF courses) are required for a french immersion certificate. Just as a little side note, if you have a french immersion background, HL French B will not be hard.
