International Languages
International Language registration is closed for the 2020/2021 school year.
An International Language is defined as any language other than English and French. The classes are offered outside regular school hours. Students will receive a maximum of 2-1/2 hours of instruction per week during the school year. The program is offered by the Durham District School Board in co-operation with various ethnic groups, parent associations and language schools. These courses are open only to children eligible to be registered in junior kindergarten to grade 8. This program is free to qualified registrants and children are limited to access only one language class each week. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, credit courses are offered on-line in a synchronous method for the period Sep - Jan. Delivery format for Feb – May is yet to be determined.
Remote Learning happens in ‘real time’. It is similar to being in a face to face classroom within a school – however you will be accessing that classroom through a computer. Students are expected to attend the virtual classroom each scheduled Monday and Wednesday between 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm. Live synchronous instruction and learning will occur during this time.
A child must be four years old by December to be eligible. No language experience is required.
