International and Indigenous Language Program

Indigenous Language instructors focus on listening and speaking within the context of land and culture. These classes are ideally taught by local Indigenous Language Instructors. 

Classes will be composed of students with mixed ages and language abilities.  Students will feel connected with another language and learn with other children in a caring and inclusive environment.   

Classes will run on Tuesdays from 4:30pm to 6:00pm at locations in Peterborough (PACE), Cobourg (Northumberland CIS), and Bowmanville (Clarington CIS).  Languages and method of delivery will be determined based on input from families.  

Registration opens annually in the fall.    

International and Indigenous Languages Elementary Program Registration

Registration Now Closed

In order to run a class, there will need to be 23 students registered and a qualified instructor available.  Classes with adequate registration and staffing will be scheduled to begin soon after the registration portal closes and will run through until late May.

We do not offer French or English language as part of this program as those language programs are offered in schools in our board.
