Why immersion?

Learning a second language at an early age has far-reaching cognitive benefits, including enhanced problem-solving, mathematical & linguistic skills. Immersion is the best way to develop fluency in a language, and the natural way that children learn. No prior French language exposure is required for enrollment.

Montessori-based Curriculum

Built on a foundation of trust and security, our Montessori program cultivates children's natural curiosity and drive towards independence. Our curriculum emphasizes investigative and experiential learning through hands-on activities and collaborative play.
