You're very proficient in French—I congratulate you on that—because you had access to an education in French.
The Fédération nationale des conseils scolaires francophones definitely has not promoted immersion schools. That's not our mandate. Our role is to promote French-language schools. Is there a difference between a French-language school and an immersion school? Absolutely. Immersion schools enable students to become bilingual, to learn the language. French-language schools have a twofold mission. Students must of course be able to learn both languages there. Allowing someone to come into our schools just to learn French is out of the question. In our schools, French is the priority language, but students are perfectly bilingual when they leave our schools. I assure you of that.
Whatever the case may be, there is a difference between an immersion school and a French-language school. The main difference is that we offer more than language: we offer language and culture; language and community. Francophiles and anglophones are definitely welcome in our all community organizations.
