[quote=Anonymous]Rochambeau is a French school that follows the French curriculum with adaptations for local culture (English language and US literature, civics and history). It has high academic standards and requires exposure to French culture and language outside of school to make the most of it. So it is a bigger commitment on the side of the families.

Students can enter the school with no knowledge of French up to 3rd grade and are put in a specific accelerated immersion French program until they are up to grade in the language. After 3rd grade, prospective students need a test to evaluate their French skills.

It has a very international student body and while it's private, you have quite a bit of diversity. It has rolling admissions, but admissions have become more competitive over time.

Many families choose it because they are more academically inclined. The course load in the middle and higher grades is considerable (student end up with two high school diplomas: the US and the French one). This leaves little time for heavy involvement in extracurricular sports, which many US families tend to favor in order to get scholarships.   [/quote]
