Description

Specialties

Private bilingual (french-​american) school.

Pre-​school — Elementary.

Opening of the Middle School in September 2016.

The school will add a new grade level each year eventually serving students through 8th Grade.

Our French immersion program in preschool is focused around three main areas: language, independence and socialization.

Learning how to interact socially and excel in a group, improving language, becoming more and more familiar with written language will establish a strong base of skills for the future.

Through a well-​established curriculum, Language Arts, Science, Math, Social Studies are enhanced through multi-​sensorial activities. Children learn by playing, singing, dancing, painting, drawing, writing, and building… doing all the things kids love best. When learning is instilled with a sense of fun, in a private, safe, nurturing and multi-​cultural environment, children become better learners, better speakers, better thinkers
