Ottawa's school board plans major changes, offering French immersion and English programs at most elementary schools starting 2026.

Ottawa's school board plans major changes for its elementary schools starting in 2026, including offering French immersion and English programs at nearly all schools. Students will enter either Enhanced English or French Immersion in Grade 1, with options to switch until Grade 3. The Middle French Immersion program and some special needs programs will be phased out. The changes aim to improve access to French immersion and ensure resources are distributed more efficiently. About 12,000 students will switch schools.
