Mom-led
Founded by a mom and teacher, trusted by families across Canada
Waterloo Region District School Board runs 125 schools across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and the townships. Its French Immersion starts in Grade 2, not Grade 1, which catches some families off guard.
Your province's curriculumCertified educators only
The curriculum, the tests, the school boards and the French options your child's tutor will work with.
Schools follow the Ontario curriculum. In elementary, you get a fall progress report, a report card in winter and a final one in June. Your board sets the exact dates.
EQAO checks reading, writing and math in Grades 3 and 6, and math in Grade 9. In Grade 10, students write the OSSLT, the literacy test needed for the Ontario diploma.
WRDSB runs English public schools and Waterloo Catholic DSB runs English Catholic schools. Viamonde has French public schools in Waterloo and Kitchener, and MonAvenir has French Catholic schools in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.
Every WRDSB student takes Core French in Grade 1. Families apply for Grade 2 Immersion in January, and a lottery decides when there are more applicants than spots. The French boards teach fully in French.
