Established in 1932 the Western University French Immersion School in Trois-Pistoles, Quebec, operates as one of the oldest French Immersion institutions in Canada. The school offers French Immersion programs to students 18 years and up in the entirely francophone community. Trois-Pistoles is located on the shores of the St. Lawrence River in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada.

In the fully immersive environment, students develop French language skills while being exposed to Quebecois culture. The School is housed within École Secondaire de Trois-Pistoles during the summer months.

The French Immersion School was established by Dr. William Sherwood Fox, a professor of classics at Western University. The first session of Western University’s French Immersion School in Trois-Pistoles ran in 1933, with twenty-six registered students in the inaugural program.
