Surrey Schools Early French Immersion

Surrey Schools Early French Immersion starts in Kindergarten, or Grade 1 when space remains, with instruction entirely in French until Grade 3. From Grades 4 to 7 the balance shifts to about 20% English and 80% French.

Kindergarten entry uses a district lottery across named Immersion sites from City Centre to South Surrey and White Rock, including schools such as Riverdale, Simon Cunningham, Martha Currie, Laronde, Pacific Heights, Peace Arch, and Snokomish. Lottery dates for 2026-27 ran in February.

Watch the Programs of Choice calendar rather than ordinary catchment registration. Early Immersion seats are assigned, not assumed, even if you live near an Immersion school.
