Toronto families who want their child to start French Immersion in September 2027 have until **November 27, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.** to apply to the Toronto District School Board's Early French Immersion program. The TDSB opened the application window on November 2 and says late applicants are placed on a waitlist behind those who apply on time.

## Who can apply

The TDSB's Early French Immersion program is entry at Junior Kindergarten. To apply for the 2027-28 school year, a child must have been born in 2023 and live in the City of Toronto, according to the board's application page. Children already enrolled in another French program are not eligible to apply.

No French knowledge is required. The TDSB states that there is no ideal candidate and that all students are welcomed into the program.

## How to apply

Applications are submitted online through the TDSB's French Immersion application page. All communications from the board go to the email address provided in the application form. The application does not guarantee placement at a specific school, only admission to the program.

Families should apply before November 27 at 4:00 p.m. The TDSB will accept late applications until May 31, 2027 at 4:00 p.m., but those children go on a waitlist and receive no priority.

## When offers come out

The TDSB says offers of placement for on-time applicants will begin on Monday, January 4, 2027, with more offers going out in the weeks that follow.

## Grade 4 French Immersion

Parents of children born in 2018 can apply to Middle French Immersion, which is the Grade 4 entry program. That application window opens January 4, 2027 at 9:00 a.m. and closes January 29, 2027 at 4:00 p.m., according to the TDSB's Middle French Immersion application page. Late applications for Grade 4 entry are also accepted until May 31, 2027.

In Grades 4 and 5, nearly all instruction is in French, the TDSB says. In Grades 6 through 8, 75 percent of instruction is in French and 25 percent in English.

## Getting to school

The TDSB provides transportation for children who live more than 1.6 kilometres from an elementary school or more than 3.2 kilometres from a middle school.

Toronto families with children starting Junior Kindergarten in September 2027 who want the Early French Immersion program should apply before November 27, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. through the TDSB's online application.
