Oui, je parle français!
The Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board (BHNCDSB) offers two French Programs at the Elementary level – Core French and French Immersion and two French programs at the Secondary level – Core French and Extended French. Each of these programs differs in intensity but share a common purpose: to develop student’s communication skills in the French language.
