[edit] History
L'école operates in a three-storey brick school building formerly called Cecil Rhodes School. During L'École Bilingue's first year in the former Rhodes building (1977-78), two monolingual, multi-grade Rhodes classes remained in the school. After that year, students who had not begun kindergarten in French immersion were not permitted to remain in the school. In September 1978, all remaining Rhodes students were dispersed among various monolingual elementary schools.
[edit] Programs
L'école has historically operated a French immersion program, where grades K-3 are taught completely in French, and 4-7 taught in half French and half English. In the early 90's, an ESL program was added. The French immersion program prided itself on French instruction in all subjects, including computers, gym and music.
