Our Mission

To enable children to learn proficient, native French and to instill appreciation of French culture in a nurturing, child-focused environment with an engaging, stimulating curriculum. To foster intellectual curiosity, provide a solid foundation for future academic achievement and create awareness of our multi-cultural world.

Immersion Program
L’Académie des Enfants is a total immersion French school. All subjects are taught in French by native French speaking teachers. Early childhood research has shown that the ability to learn languages is at its peak between birth and 6 years of age. After that, the ability to learn a language quickly diminishes. We take advantage of this window of opportunity - when language acquisition and native accent imitation are easiest.

Our Immersion Program meets daily, to allow for continuous repetition of the language. The more frequently a child is exposed to conversation, the faster the child will be able to adopt the language.
