The French advantage
A French education is an investment in your child’s future. It provides not only a strong academic foundation but also access to greater opportunities in a bilingual and multicultural world. By learning in French, your child gains the skills and confidence to thrive in any environment, opening doors to a future without limits.

A truly immersive French environment
French public schools offer a genuinely immersive experience, unlike so-called “French Immersion” programs. In our schools, students live and learn entirely in French, both inside and outside the classroom, fostering true bilingualism. It’s not just about learning a second language—it’s about thinking, thriving, and building a future in French.

Gift your child a bilingual future
Our students thrive in a fully French environment while gaining a strong command of English, taught from elementary school through Grade 12. With rigorous English courses, on par with those in English-language schools, we equip students to excel in a truly bilingual world.

"They accepted our anglicized family allowing us to expand our children’s horizons and reclaim our cultural heritage."
