Maybe French Immersion didn't work for you? I know several people who did FI - most said it was great, whereas one dropped out of FI in high school and breezed through regular French classes.
Both of my kids have been in FI since Kindergarten. One is in grade 3 and the other is in grade 9. They do fine in math and sciences, even though they subjects are taught in French. My mom was scared my kids would suck at English, but their English is fine. Growing up, they read a lot of books in English (but reading a French book might be a bit more challenging). In general, I'd say that they are pretty good at school. However, their work habits need improvement or else university will kick their ass (if they even go)...
