[email protected] [email protected] www.ucc.on.ca

The Enriched Math course…

Standard French (FSF1D)  Standard French follows the Grade 9 Ontario curriculum and allows students to attain a solid foundation in vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing and oral communication.

[email protected]


Enriched French (FEF1D)  The Enriched French program reviews the same vocabulary and cultural content as the standard course.  The instructor, however, will challenge students with more difficult reading and writing tasks in Enriched French.


An Enriched French student…  is a fully engaged and talented language student who is strong in grammar and reading, as well as oral and written communication  can cope with all lessons being delivered exclusively in French, and appreciates the special focus on the study of literature  writes a different exam to receive the Grade 9 Extended French credit
