École McTavish Public High School

French Immersion

The French Immersion/Francophone program at École McTavish Public High School is a continuation of the amazing work done at École Dickinsfield School at the elementary grades. 

Please note that students who graduate from École McTavish will be given a Bilingual Certificate of Excellence at graduation—not a French Immersion Diploma—however, students must have completed the following:

  • French Language Arts 10/20/30
  • A minimum of one other 30-level course in French (most students complete Études Sociales)

*Only students who graduate from a Francophone School (i.e., École Boréale) will receive a French Immersion diploma

Here is a link from Alberta Education on French Immersion. Also, this is a link to some material en Francais about the Immersion program.

Alberta Education has also produced a great booklet on how parents can help their children in the French program.

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
