Ecole Maternelle
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.
