"French Immersion students are taught in French 100 per cent of the time (Exception:English Courses and most optional courses. I.E.: Language Arts) . . . Students have the opportunity to achieve international language certification and recognition upon graduation." The school has also hosted the French Gala for several years, where French students from across Edmonton Public Schools gather in a speech competition.

Having a diploma graduating class normally greater than fifty students, Ainlay has one of the largest IB classes in Alberta.
