The WRDSB’s International and Indigenous Languages program (IILP) provides an opportunity on Saturday mornings for students who wish to learn a new language, preserve their own language, or enhance their intercultural awareness.  No prior language experience is necessary.  Through the International and Indigenous Languages program, students can develop oral communication, reading and writing skills in languages other than English or French, at either an Elementary or Secondary level.  Secondary (credit) courses provide 110 hours of instruction.

All International and Indigenous Languages programs comply with the Ontario Ministry of Education and are available to all WRDSB and non-WRDSB students.

Fees for IILP Classes:

  • If your child is a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, there are no fees associated with Saturday Morning language classes.
  • If you are living in Canada on a work or study visa and your child is fee-exempt at day school, there are no fees for a Saturday Morning language class.
  • If your child is a fee-paying international student in day school, there is an additional fee to take a Saturday Morning language class.  To inquire about this, please contact WRDSB International Admissions at international@wrdsb.ca or call 519-570-0003 ext, 4454.  Specify that your child is already registered in WRDSB as a fee-paying international student and that you are interested in adding a Saturday morning International Language class to your child’s program.
