Your questions
Another question? Email admissions@lft.ca.
How can we support our child with their homework, and could this be a disadvantage for them?
This is not a concern. Our teachers remain fully available to support each student directly. Children are encouraged and welcome to ask questions whenever needed, so a lack of French spoken at home does not place them at a disadvantage.
Does my child need to speak French already?
Not in Kindergarten: no French is required in Pre-K, JK and SK. From Grade 1 onwards, proficiency in French is required for admission. Our Admissions team can review your situation during the visit.
How does the visit work?
Choose one of three slots: 9:30, 10:30 or 11:30 a.m. Each visit lasts one hour, with a student ambassador: classrooms, teachers, sports and activities, and time with our Admissions team.
Will classes be in session?
No, the Open House takes place on a Saturday, with no classes. Our student ambassadors and teachers will show you the classrooms and school life.
Can I bring my child, or come with several people?
Yes. One registration covers the whole family, however many of you come.
