The French programme is based on a gestural approach which encourages speaking in sentences from the very beginning and which quickly develops comprehension skills. Classes are active and fun, using drama and story-telling extensively, as well as songs and games. Reading and writing skills are also emphasized, and are gradually intensified as students become comfortable with familiar language. Students in Middles have three French classes per week, and this increases to four classes for the Olds and Elders.
