French World Language

Through the French World Language program, our kindergarten through grade eight students are exposed to the language and cultures of the francophone world. With an emphasis on the four language domains (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), students use language for self-expression and communication. The goal of our language program is to develop proficiency in French while encouraging lifelong language learning.

Primary and Intermediate School students attend French class one to two times each week and begin to study the use of vocabulary in sentences, conjugation of verbs in the present tense, pronunciation, and the development of reading, writing, and listening skills. The program begins with instruction in basic phonemic awareness and vocabulary, enhanced by repetition, drills, songs, games, and the use of technology.

Middle School students attend French class two to three times each week and study vocabulary in context, verbs and their conjugations in the present, past, and future tenses, and the development of reading, writing, and listening skills. Students demonstrate their progress by engaging in active speaking, reading, and writing classroom-planned activities such as thematic dialogues, skits, essays, word-games, and role-playing.

French, an official language of the United Nations, World Trade Organization, European Union, North American Free Trade Agreement, Organization of American States, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Organization of the Islamic Conference, and the International Olympic Committee is a natural choice for our students to enter the realm of global citizenship.
