[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't speak French and/or can't afford to donate financially above the tuition, you should avoid this school. When I went to the open house two years ago, I saw great videos about the English and French education. Complete fabrication, that's not what happens at all.  Once your children go there, they only learn French. You will need both a French tutor for the loads of homework (starting 1st grade) and English tutor to keep your child from falling behind for their grade. I had meetings all the way to the Head of School to discuss their lack of English instruction and support for non-French families.  I took both my children out in June, when I told them they didn't have to go back, they jumped for joy.

Current family and not French. English is taught three times a week plus music instruction is in English. Most of the kids on the playground speak in English. The homework load has always been relatively light and kids enrolled in Study Hall just do it there. They have three recess periods during the day. We do not speak French at home. I’ve thought of hiring a tutor but it hasn’t been suggested. I will concede that the English program is decent but not great for native speakers.

I’m referring to the primary school campus FYI. Perhaps the upper school campus is different.[/quote]
