International and Indigenous Language Program
Elementary program
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board runs the International and Indigenous Languages Elementary (IILE) program for students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 who are interested in the opportunity to develop their language skills through a free, non-credit course outside of school hours.
International Language instructors focus on the development of the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing with an emphasis on oral language development. These classes are ideally taught by International Languages Instructors.
The International and Indigenous Languages Elementary (IILE) Program allows students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 to develop their first language and an opportunity to discover a new, second language. With a focus on inclusivity, the program also deepens students’ cultural awareness, and positively contributes towards their sense of belonging, self-esteem and self-image.
Registration for this year's International and Indigenous Languages program is now open!
