Please contact the Principal at these schools for more information on the French Immersion Program.

In instances where existing regional centre transportation is not available, the parent/guardian is responsible to transport the student to and from the French Immersion School at no cost to the SRCE. Please contact the SRCE Transportation Department staff by email at [email protected] or by phone at 902-747-3645 to determine your eligibility to receive bus service.

When there are available primary spaces, families who live outside a school’s catchment area may apply to have their child attend a school out of catchment by submitting an Application for Transfer of Students within the Region Request Form located in the Resources section of the SRCE website. Families must first register at their local school prior to submitting a transfer request. The request will be considered in accordance with the Provincial Class Cap Guidelines and/or if no additional transportation and staffing costs will be incurred to accommodate the request.
