About Our School

Welcome to Module Vanier! Our school offers two bilingual streams to learn French. We provide an Extended French program for students in Grade 7 or 8 who have only had core French since Grade 4. French Immersion programming is offered to students who have attended previous Immersion programs from Kindergarten onward. Both streams offer English language instruction in health, science and literacy. All other subjects are taught in French.
