About the French Program Team

To give all of Yukon’s learners the opportunity to discover French, the Department of Education’s French Programs unit coordinates French Second Language (FSL) programs and French cultural activities in schools across the territory. By bringing together classroom learning and real-life experiences in French, our learners benefit from a well-rounded, authentic approach to learning the language.
