John Hanson French Immersion

I agree. My son will be entering the 6th grade this coming school year and each year has been a challenge for him. With the support he receives from my husband and I as well as his teachers he has managed to remain on the honor roll throughout his years in the program. The experience of being taught by educators from various countries has taught him to be worldly at a young age. and this is what we want. As parents we also expose him to the French language by taking him to countries where French is spoken. It is an excellent school with an excellent staff.

My son is just about to finish up 1st grade and my husband and I are very pleased with the program. I do think that it's important for parents to understand the additional work that is needed on the homefront when you send your child to an immersion school. They do not receive any English instruction until grade 2, so it is up to the parent to teach the child English at home. If things are done on the homefront, I think the experience is a positive one.
