The École
Next is The École, a French American bilingual school in New York City. The private and independent French-American school, located in New York's lively Flatiron District, was created to foster an international-minded community of students.
From Maternelle to Middle School, this school expertly blends the finest French and American educational systems, bestowing upon children strong biliteracy, whole-child skills and knowledge, and an optimistic, multi-cultural outlook. As a result, they become more adaptable and fluid, inquisitive and interesting, persistent and cheerful. And they are always ready to shape and share their life's triumphs, no matter what the situation or where they travel.
This school's mission and philosophy are as follows:
- Create well-rounded, responsible, and empathetic pupils capable of connecting to a world full with possibilities.
- Provide bilingual learning opportunities for individuals and groups that engage, challenge, and inspire.
- Combine the best of both the French and American educational systems.
- Create a culture of inclusion, equity, and diversity.
They have teachers who specialize in French and English language literacy. Children who do not speak French are welcome to attend The École until they reach Kindergarten. Student applicants for admission are invited to the school to be evaluated on their English and French proficiency. They are spoken to in French and English to assess younger kids' comprehension and oral skills. Older pupils are also evaluated to ensure that they are at the right level for courses such as Math and writing.
All kids in this school have access to a maker space, science lab, theater, art room, music room, and library. From kindergarten to grade 12, there are full facilities for students' amusement and talent development.
