Program Entrance Information - French
The French Immersion Program is a full immersion model where all academic subjects are taught in the French
language from Kindergarten through the 8th grade.
French-speaking teachers immerse students totally in French as they learn the Prince George’s County Public
Schools curriculum in mathematics, science, social studies, and Language Arts. English Reading/ Language Arts instruction begins in 2nd grade.
The high school program continuation is at Central High School. Because French Immersion students meet the prerequisites, all are encouraged to apply to the International Baccalaureate Program as they matriculate to high
school. The high school program is a partial immersion program.
The benefits of bilingualism are numerous, including greater flexibility in thinking, high rates of academic
achievement, and cross-cultural learning and communication. Students will be prepared to compete within the
context of the Global Society.
