The Extended French Program starts in Grade 5 and offers 50% of the total instruction in French. The program includes studies in French Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and one of either: Visual Arts, Music, Drama or Physical Education. The program leads into Extended French at the secondary school level, where French Language Arts, Geography, History and World Religions are offered.

Students in Extended French will receive a minimum of 2,670 hours of French instruction during their school career. When complete, students should also be able to participate in conversation and demonstrate their knowledge of French culture, society, and customs.

In cases where the number of applications exceeds the number of places available at a site, a random selection process will be held at a predetermined and advertised date, if required. In all other cases, students will be placed in the program, provided all required documentation is in order. The application package will be available online to all parents/guardians of Grade 4 students and can be found on the DPCDSB Extended French Webpage as of February 14.  The site application links will be live from February 14 to February 28, 2024.
