Through our partnership with St. Isidore Learning Centre our High school students are able to access courses:
French 10
(5 Credits)
This course is designed for students who have elementary and junior high background in French. Students will engage in various language activities in structured contexts to develop fundamental written and oral skills. The focus is on comprehensible and accurate usage of verb tenses and vocabulary building.
French 20
Pre-requisite: French 10
(5 Credits)
Students will continue to use a multidimensional approach to develop knowledge of French vocabulary, grammar, and culture. Engaging in grade level specific language activities in structured contexts will enable all students to develop advanced written and oral skills. Themes include the senses and feelings, fads and fashions, close friends, and consumerism.
French 30
Pre-requisite: French 20
(5 Credits)
After having studied French through elementary, junior high, and high school, students will have the opportunity to put all of their knowledge into practice. Topics covered will include the world of work, travel and tourism, the role of the media, and conservation and the environment. Students will have many opportunities to practice communicating with one another through various forms of technology. Focus will be given to coherence in written and spoken forms as well as the conditional tense.
Latin 10/20/30
(5 Credits)
The Latin language program has been designed to develop reading proficiency in the language of the ancient Romans, as well as introducing the student to the history of that civilization. The program assumes no prior second-language experience and gradually introduces the student to Latin grammatical features. Traditionally held as good preparation for the studies of Law and Medicine, Latin also provides a sound basis for any of the biological sciences, the humanities, linguistics, and logic. Research also suggests that Latin study can increase performance in English reading and writing. A historical/cultural component further introduces the student to one of the key sources of Western society. Note: each of Latin 10, 20, and 30 is offered as a language course for 5 credits.
