FSL Enrolment Trends
For nearly two decades, French immersion enrolment in B.C. saw consistent year-over-year growth. However, in recent years, particularly since the start of the pandemic, this trend has reversed, with a small but steady decline in enrolment.
Despite this, the program’s enduring popularity can still be attributed to the dedication and passion of its educators, the support of school administrators, and the vibrant community created by parents, caregivers, and everyone who supports children on their learning journeys.
CPF BC & Yukon has gathered enrolment statistics from the BC Ministry of Education and the Yukon Department of Education. Attrition statistics were calculated based on these enrolment numbers. You can find detailed tables, graphs, and maps below.
