Of course! Your child can still attend our French school even if nobody in your family speaks French. Many language programs are designed to accommodate children with no prior exposure to the language. It can be a valuable learning experience and broaden your child's horizons.

No, learning French will not interfere with your child's English. Bilingualism can enhance cognitive skills and typically doesn't hinder language development.

We advise that each parent consistently speaks to the child in their respective native language. This approach can help children develop strong language skills in both languages.

We communicate with parents through newsletters, emails, WhatsApp groups, and parent-teacher conferences.

We follow the French curriculum, and we incorporate international elements.

Our primary language of instruction is French.

We welcome children from 3 years old. If your child is not 3 by September, you can still enroll them and they can join the school from their third birthday on. However, your child does have to turn 3 before January ends during the school year.
