International and
Indigenous Languages (IIL) Program Registration for 2019-2020
Elementary International and Indigenous Languages Program
Registration for the 2019-2020 school year will
begin on Thursday, April 11, 2019. We are pleased to announce
that we are now offering online registration for our
elementary program. Registering online will eliminate wait times and
long line-ups. To facilitate registration, on Thursday, April 11, 2019 at
4:00 pm, online registration will be available for the first time through Edsby
on our webpage: www.yrdsb.ca/international-languages
Families can still register in person at the language site
starting April 11 and in September. Please contact our office at international.languages@yrdsb.ca
if you would like to register in person before September.
Did you know that the
IIL Program has over 20 languages to choose from? Currently we have
approximately 15,000 students registered in our programs across the
Board. Students from SK to Grade 8 are eligible to take language classes
that run once a week during weekday evenings (from Tuesday to Friday) or
Saturday mornings for 2.5 hours. There are many new and exciting things in
store for the upcoming 2019/2020 school year, such as the opportunity to learn
the Indigenous languages Ojibwe and Cree.
Please note that due
to space limitations, registration applications will
take place on a first-come-first-serve basis. Classes may be cancelled due to
low enrolment or lack of teacher availability.
