Draft: this guide is waiting for a final check before it is listed in search engines.
French-language schools (Viamonde and MonAvenir) teach everything in French and are mainly for children with a parent who has French-language education rights; others can apply to an admission committee. French Immersion is a program in English-language schools for any family, with entry points and applications set by each board.
