FRENCH

THE ARTS

+

The French Department at EDHS consists of Core and Immersion courses that help students develop their language skills in written and verbal form. Students will communicate and interact with growing confidence in French, one of Canada’s official languages, while developing the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to participate fully as citizens in Canada and in the world.  

 

We are proud to offer many extra opportunities for French students at our school by providing DELF testing and certification and offering opportunities to travel to French-speaking places where students can be fully immersed in the culture. One of the goals of our department is to provide students with the confidence and ability to use French effectively in their daily lives.

The Arts Department at EDHS is a diverse department offering students a foundation in Drama, Music and Visual Arts.  All of the arts disciplines are distinct, each with its own body of knowledge, and with its own concepts, forms, styles, conventions, techniques, and modes of inquiry; however, they are enriched by each other and help to enrich other subjects. The world of communication has been affected by the arts in many significant ways, such as the use of body language, music, visuals, and voice in the media.

 

Through our programs, students will see and understand the arts in their wider context and learn how they can enhance our lives.  We are proud of the courses and extra-curricular trips, clubs and councils that we offer our students to allow them to be fully engaged with the larger arts community.
