Preparing Lifelong Learners for Success

  • Why Choose French?

    French is a global language! It is the second most learned foreign language after English, and the fifth most widely spoken language in the world. Research shows that learning multiple languages provides significant academic, cognitive, and social benefits to children.

  • Pre-K en Français!

    Our Pre-K students are immersed in the French language through fun songs and rhymes, movement and dance, daily read-alouds of French books, oral language games, and engaging playtime in a literacy-rich classroom environment. Our Pre-K program is full-day and always free for St. Paul students.
