L'Ecole French School of Raleigh

We offer 2 different French afterschool programs:
French for Native speaker / Francais Langue Maternelle: FLAM
Monday + Wednesday: 4:30-6pm
Tuesday + Thursday: 4:30-6pm
Saturday: 9:30-12pm
French for non-native speaker / Francais Langue Etrangere: FLE (online) Monday - Saturday

As for all extracurricular activities, our after school classes will require effort and commitment on behalf of both the student and the parents. We believe that the frequency of the classes, the quality of our teachers, and the fostering of a positive learning environment help create an experience that is both fun and educational, and leads to benefits that will last a lifetime.

Preschool:
The oral language is the main focus of the program. Students will learn to express themselves in French by building sentences with precise vocabulary and learning to communicate with their peers and the teacher. L’école encourages interdisciplinary work constructing its schedule around diverse projects. The project approach helps children make sense of what they are learning. Each child is given a “cahier de vie“ (life notebook), which is a reflective personal notebook of the child’s life in class. We use it to tell about our activities and keep a record of rhymes, songs, drawings, and work. This notebook is also used to build a strong connection between L’école and the families. Families are able to complete it on a regular basis with pictures, stories, or explanations of special events that happened at home. It gives the child the opportunity to explain it in class.
