Are you looking to give your child the benefits of a second language and culture while challenging them in a supportive learning environment?
The Accelerated French Program is designed to challenge and prepare students for a rigorous education. The Accelerated French Program includes two divisions: an accelerated French program for elementary school students and an accelerated French program for middle school students. The elementary school level gives students an opportunity to learn French and join the bilingual track in middle school. The middle school program provides students with a strong foundation in French.
The French Accelerated Program is a separate academic program for students with limited or no French knowledge.
Our small class sizes give students the individualized support they need to succeed in the program.
Students not only learn a new language more effectively than in a traditional public school but also experience the rigor of two curricula at the same time.
Students become not just bilingual but bicultural. They are exposed to a diverse and international community, giving them the opportunity to gain two unique perspectives.
Schedule
In the French Accelerated Program, students receive accelerated French language classes and participate weekly in physical education, art, and music classes, which are also taught in French. For classes taught in English, such as Math and English, students in the French Accelerated Program join their bilingual track peers.
Native French-speaking teachers teach all French language classes. In addition to these classes, students also participate in cultural activities like cooking classes, art projects, and field trips. These activities help to enrich the student’s learning experience and deepen their understanding of the French language and culture in a real-world context.
To succeed in our program, students must have a solid academic foundation, especially in English, and be dedicated to meeting high academic expectations.
