Louise Arbour French Immersion Public School

This school is great because there are lots of
learning field trips and Bibliomobile is a wonderful reading activity! FIVE STARS :D

Great school, lots of extracurriculars, kind staff and great students. Alexander’s review is completely ridiculous and she clearly knows nothing about French Immersion, kids are taught the same material as normal schools but in French. English was also taught separately.

“Kids who never speak French...?” Speaking French is kind of mandatory in a FRENCH IMMERSION school, in my time here (I took extended French, grades 7-8) I made massive improvements in my French language skills (with absolutely no sacrifice to my English skills...)

If you want your child to learn a language that will stay with them for the rest of their lives, go to this school.

good school with many extraculicular option and kind staff

Very good school and teacher

Despite being in a typically 'rough' neighbourhood, this school has been wonderful and better than the other 2 I've dealt with. The staff are mostly all amazing, genuinely care about the students and their well-being. The office staff is always helpful and kind, the librarian knows almost every kids name, the janitor likes to share jokes with my daughter when they see each other in the hall and the school itself is very large. They have lots of different activity rooms for rainy days, an adequate library and full music room. I'm so glad I sent my daughter here. And don't listen to that other review, she is a very smart cookie and is great in her primary language and doing very well in French. This is a much better way of learning the language than typical public schools who don't start until Grade 3 (not when kids are most adaptable to language) and they only get a few hours a week. They try to teach words and then grammar and sentence structure but it never sticks. I support French Immersion if you want your kids to be able to speak French.

@Alexander Lock - I find it amusing that you say French Immersion children aren't as good at spelling or grammar, yet you can't spell the word grammar. You misspelled immersion and your grammar itself is terrible. Perhaps you should have gone to French immersion or at least paid attention in your English class?
