Cultivating Excellence Through Bilingual Education

We believe that early childhood is a magical time for discovery, growth, and joy. Our Maternelle is a unique bilingual immersion environment beginning at 18 months of age. Young children have a unique capacity to learn new languages. Many FASPS students begin with no prior French and develop age-appropriate fluency by the end of Kindergarten.

In our Preschool program, young learners begin their journey of cultural awareness through rich narratives and inquiry-based approaches. By exploring diverse cultures, traditions, and values, children develop an early understanding and respect for the world around them. They learn to appreciate differences and find common ground through shared experiences, setting the foundation for empathy and respect in the years to come.

Program Highlights

Language Fluency

Early language(s) skills foster communication, literacy, and cognitive abilities essential for lifelong learning. Our Immersive bilingual program builds strong communication skills and cognitive flexibility, opening doors to endless possibilities.

Family Partnership

We cherish our close collaboration with families, working together to create a cohesive and supportive environment both at home and in school. This partnership is crucial as it reinforces the learning and development happening at school.

Caring and Qualified Teachers

Our educators are not just highly qualified; they are deeply committed to the well-being and growth of each child. Their warmth, dedication, and expertise create an environment where children feel loved and supported every day.

Whole-Child Focus

We celebrate and support every aspect of your child's development—socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

Self-Regulation & Executive Function

Through playful learning, we help children build life skills like self-regulation, focus, and resilience.
