International and Indigenous Languages Fall Registration

Elementary School Programs

Students in Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8 can learn to read, write and speak a new language or maintain their heritage language. More than 20 different language courses are available through YRDSB. Registration for the 2020-2021 school year will begin in early July 2020. For locations, times and dates, please see the list of Elementary courses.


Research shows that speaking more than one language has many cognitive benefits and may:
· improve how the brain functions such as improving memory and concentration
· enhance decision-making and multi-tasking skills
· open future employment opportunities

Please check the YRDSB website in July for the most up to date information on registration and program delivery. Due to space limitations, registration will take place on a first come first served basis.
