Canadian Montessori Academy

French Language Program


Canadian Montessori Academy strives to create a natural French environment for the children through bilingual classrooms.   We are proud to have Montessori Qualified French and English teacher's in our classes creating a natural environment for learning French.  French in integrated into the program rather than taught like a subject. The French teacher works with the Montessori materials with the children becoming part of the learning environment. Our goal is for all our children to be comfortable with our second language.

Toddler (18 months - 3 years)

French is taught at this young age each day. The children work with the French teacher in small groups building their vocabulary through song, dance, games etc.

Primary (3-6)

French is integrated in the 3-6 Montessori program through the Montessori material. The children work with the Montessori material in French each day with the help of French Montessori Qualified teachers. In circle the French teacher focuses on vocabulary, through song, dance and games etc.

Elementary (6-9, 9-12)

The Elementary program is co-taught by French and English Montessori teachers. The children can do their work in French or English. French is taught with the Montessori materials through French presentations. A focus is placed on speaking French in the class and being comfortable in French.
