Welcome
How is the program organized?
Registration takes place in late spring and mid-September. Final formation of classes takes place in September. All classes are conditional on sufficient enrolment. Please note that space in some courses may be very limited.
When do classes run?
All classes will begin the 3rd Saturday in September. No classes are scheduled for holidays or school vacations. Classes operate each weekend until mid-June. Elementary classes are scheduled to operate for 2.5 hours and secondary classes for three hours each day. All classes are scheduled to begin between 8:30 am and 10:00 am depending on the location.
How do students register?
Registration for International Languages is an on-line process available at specific times in the year. The next registration period begins in mid-September.
What is taught?
The International Languages program is based on oral communication, reading and writing in languages other than English or French. Grammar and language knowledge are incorporated into the three basic skill areas.
Who is eligible to attend?
Any student who is currently enrolled in a Peel District School Board elementary or secondary school is eligible to attend. Other elementary students may be admitted if space is available in an existing class. For International Languages secondary courses, students must be currently enrolled in an Ontario secondary school and must have permission from their home school principal or designate. Students receive a credit for courses successfully completed.
The opportunity to study a language in addition to English and French can benefit all students. Students enrolled in the program include those:
- with no prior knowledge of an international language
- whose first language is English or French and who wish to study their home language as a second or third language
- whose first language is their home language
