French Immersion Middle School

The French Immersion Program at Roosevelt is a "school within a school." Most students in the program attended Charlemagne at Fox Hollow, 4J's French immersion alternative elementary school, since kindergarten. Roosevelt's immersion students study entirely in French for three periods a day. For the remaining five periods, they join other Roosevelt students for classes in English. All students take a year-long block class called "Connexions" in mixed age groups. The curriculum combines studies such as language arts, science, history, grammar and social studies around year-long themes. "Decouvertes" classes are offered in French covering natural science, art, social science and other areas.
