Elementary School

Our Elementary School immersion program is rich and challenging and is designed to build on the bilingual foundation that was laid during our Maternelle Program.
To gain entry into our elementary school, students must already be proficient in French. For children without experience in the second language, entry may only be made during the Maternelle program (nursery, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten).
A language proficiency test may be required for entry into our elementary school.

Students enrolled in our French program will spend 70%-80% of their time immersed in French.
Our French and English teachers work closely together to develop our program content and curriculum.
Our program is comprehensive with French and English teachers complementing and reinforcing each other's teaching strategies and content in a proactive way. Teachers also jointly determine and address our students' needs.
Students enrolled in our elementary school enjoy specialty courses in art and music taught in French.

In addition to these courses, our curriculum seamlessly integrates technology into the program. Our full-time Technology Coordinator assists teachers in creating projects that are completed in both languages starting in the first grade.

In 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, our students take the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) standardized tests. ERB tests are given to private and suburban schools across the country.
