DELF Junior / Scolaire



DELF Junior/Scolaire tests the same skills as the DELF exam but with material designed for children. The DELF scolaire is the same exam as the DELF junior but it is organized through the school of the student. The DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) Junior/Scolaire is a diploma issued by the French Ministry of National Education in recognition of French-language studies. The junior/scolaire version of DELF has the same basic structure as the standard DELF but the topics are different: the materials take into account the interests of young people. This is designed for children between 12 and 18 years of age.

The DELF examinations are recognized around the world, and your child will receive a diploma valid for the rest of their life! The diploma awarded is identical to the standard DELF diploma.

It is now widely implemented in Alberta school systems and all across Canada. The examinations are independent, and candidates can register for the examination of their choice. Each examination evaluates the four communication skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking.

To see a detailed overview of the DELF examinations, sample exams and examples of students' work, you can check the official website dedicated to the DELF examinations in Canada here.
