Meet our teachers
Our French teachers are native speakers credentialed by the French Ministry of Education, and our English teachers bring English language arts and the U.S. curriculum to life. Together, they help every child grow with confidence in both languages.
“The academic programs are wonderful and very well rounded. My son’s art, music and French classes were especially interesting. Not only that, but his English has improved tremendously, too.”
