FSL Enrolment Trends
For nearly two decades straight, French immersion enrolment in B.C. has seen year-over-year improvements.
The program owes its ever-increasing popularity to the skill and passion of its educators, the support of school administrators and the community created by parents, caregivers and everyone else who fosters children’s learning journeys.
CPF BC & Yukon has collected enrolment statistics from the BC Ministry of Education and the Yukon Department of Education. Attrition statistics were calculated based on enrolment numbers. You can find tables, graphs, and maps below.
COVID-19 appears to have made an impact on general and French immersion enrolment numbers in BC for the 2020-21 school year. Nevertheless, the percentage of students in FI has remained stable, near 10% of the total student body, since 2015.
