[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bonjour! We are a Franco-American family and my son just finished K in FI at SCES. He loves it. I think your kids would pass the entrance exam with no issue, but after that it would depend on how many families leave etc. But yes, you have a spot at SSIMS if you wish after that.

In terms of outcomes, my son understood French going in but didn’t speak much (normal for families who have lived here always). Now he speaks to me only in French, corrects his Dad’s French (Dad is from a third, non Francophone European country so we have a third language at home). Pour résumer, super satisfaite de son expérience et de ses progrès en français. [/quote]
My uncle married a French woman. By early elementary school, neither of their kids would speak to her in French. The family packed up and moved in with her parents (south of France; neither of her parents spoke English) for a school year. Worked wonders! One of my cousins spent several years as a bike messenger in Paris. My uncle's French became almost passable.[/quote]
