Making the Choice on learning French - Government of New Brunswick

Learning another language enriches a child’s education by opening them up to another culture and language. The skills they develop while acquiring an additional language can actually enhance their first language skills both in reading and writing.

In New Brunswick, all students are exposed to the French language, history and culture in Kindergarten to Grade 2. Starting in Grade 3, different options are offered.
