Our Students

Children attend FISW from a variety of backgrounds, nationalities and cultures. In fact, we have over 19 different nationalities represented at our school. This mix provides FISW with a rich, multi-cultural environment that enriches our entire community.  As children play and become friends, they learn to respect and embrace individual differences. As a result, our children graduate with a world view that has been broadened and enriched, both through our academic program and their school social experience.

Children who graduate from our program are fully bilingual and confident with their abilities and talents. They are accepted at excellent schools both locally and abroad.

Our Graduates

FISW graduates love to come back and visit! Often, they will participate in our after-school French conversation enrichment class, and they love to come back and volunteer for school events like the auction and our spring carnival, Kermesse.

Finding the next school for your child is highly personal and complex decision. Local middle and high schools vary in their foreign language offerings. We work with you to find the best fit.
