For our Students and their Parents

Life at LPEC: a place to learn, have fun in French

We want our students to learn while having a good time. For the parents, we see our school as a place where people connect, feel welcome, and have a chance to participate in their children's educational journey.

Spirit of LPEC

Community

Communication

Communication

The school is a place to connect parents thanks to their children. We want to encourage parents to participate in their children's educational journey by submitting any ideas to the teachers or administration (field trips, shows, events... etc.)

Communication

Communication is important. At LPEC we communicate with parents through different means: email, WhatsApp group, and meetings.  

At anytime during the year you have the possibility to ask for a meeting with a teacher or the principal. 

Volunteering

The French school goes on field trips several times per year, and we always need extra hands to take care and ensure safety during field trips. As a parent you can volunteer to be a chaperon after undergoing a background check.
