Moderns

The Moderns Department offers meaningful opportunities for students in grades 9 to 12 to develop an appreciation of the French language and Francophone cultures worldwide. All of our courses are designed to develop receptive, productive and interactive French language skills across a range of contexts and purposes associated with academic and personal interests. Learning languages offers students significant advantages in strengthening critical thinking skills, developing and understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures, considering perspectives, participating with confidence in an increasingly global employment market, and enhancing overall literacy skills. Enrolling in our French courses will allow students to gain valuable intercultural communicative competencies to support active participation in global communities.
