[quote=Anonymous]I was a lifer at Rochambeau. Did my nursery years at WIS, then moved over for 1st grade (it was much less expensive). I was one of te only Americans and as coming from a minority, single parent HH. Mom spoke zero French, but we were always treated with the utmost respect and consideration. It was all very rigid/structured, but no more so than what my cousins experienced growing up in the Caribbean and extremely helpful for an undiagnosed ADHD kid such as myself. Different home room teachers were willing to provide extra tutoring and help get homework done, so lack of French at home was never an issue.

I didn't graduate from Rochambeau because my family moved to another city on the east coast for the last few years of high school, but I did get my French bac and go on to an Ivy League college from there. To this day, my mother swears by the school and says she would do it all again (despite the rigidity)...

For better or for worse, the French system hardly ever changes, so what happened 10-20 years ago is likely to remain relevant today. Hope this helps a bit...
