Mission & Philosophy

Our mission is to provide an excellent bilingual education in a welcoming environment that encourages critical thinking and curiosity.

We believe that by helping our children develop their intellect and character in a bilingual, bi-cultural environment, they learn respect and appreciation for cultural differences, thus better preparing them for their future in a multicultural workforce and global environment.

The French Immersion School’s curriculum is taught by outstanding, certified teachers in a traditional and structured environment. Students are immersed in the French language most of the time and receive a rigorous, complete, challenging education conforming to the French national curriculum in French, math, science, history and geography, art, music and physical education. The American part of the program focuses on language arts and social studies and gives all students the means to excel at meeting the requirements of the local educational system.  

Research has shown that an international education allowing children to learn about other countries and cultures is of utmost importance for the world’s future. French is an international language, spoken around the world. Immersion gives children the opportunity to learn another language in a natural and effective way. It also gives them increased skills in English and logical thinking.
