As real estate agents who know a whole lot about schools, our clients ask us about French Immersion programs in Richmond Hill quite frequently. Our clients feel that French Immersion schools provide a “better education”, based on EQAO stats through recent years. However, in our service area, French Immersion EQAO scores outperform regular-track EQAO scores only in Oakville, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham. They are generally equal in all other service areas on this website.
How are the Richmond Hill French Immersion rankings determined?
Seven years of EQAO data is recorded and averaged out, weighted for recency. The final score represents the average level (out of 4) that the students at each school have collectively achieved in recent years. Unlike the regular Richmond Hill CAP rankings, Richmond Hill French Immersion rankings use seven years of EQAO test results only, employing no other factors.

Where can I find information on French Immersion in Richmond Hill?
Here’s some…
In Richmond Hill, French Immersion starts in Grade 1. For Grades 1, 2 and 3, the children will spend their entire school day learning all subjects in French and NONE learning in English. Beginning in Grade 4, English-learning is re-introduced and the learning is 50/50 until Grade 8 (50% learning in English, 50% learning in French). The program is then continued at select secondary schools.
Getting into the French Immersion program at the Grade One level in Richmond Hillis automatic IF you apply by the deadline, but if the school/grade is at capacity, your children may have to attend another school until spots free up. If you apply PAST the deadline, please call the school itself.
The registration deadline for French Immersion (for September placement) is usually in early February.
