As French is one of Canada's two official languages, learning French is considered important to enhance opportunities for living and working throughout Canada and the world, as well as to foster a greater understanding between French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians. Alberta Education encourages opportunities for all Alberta students to learn French by making available alternative French language programs such as French immersion and French as a second language courses.
Aspen View Public Schools offers French Immersion programs for students from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in its three Athabasca schools (Whispering Hills Primary School, Landing Trail Intermediate School and Edwin Parr Composite School).
