​L’école Secondaire Sentinel offers bilingual instruction to students enrolled in the French Immersion program.  Immersion is for students who have received their primary and intermediate level of instruction in French. The amount of French instruction at the secondary level varies according to the grade. As students progress through the progra​m, the amount of prescribed instructional time in French is reduced: Grades 8 and 9 = 50%, Grade 10 = 38%, Grades 11 and 12 = 25%.

French Immersion students will have the opportunity to participate in many excursions and cultural experiences in French throughout their courses.
