A Place with Purpose
We will create a unified, expanded, sustainable campus that serves and embodies the school’s mission.
We Will
- Design a comprehensive master site plan that will guide the long-term future of our campus, and design permanent Maternelle and Lower School classrooms that support our innovative and unique programs.
- Launch a Capital Campaign that supports Phase Two of campus development, including new Maternelle and Lower School classrooms, improved safety and traffic flow, and enhanced flexible spaces for student learning.
- Actively pursue the acquisition of adjacent properties to broaden the opportunities French International offers students.
A Place with Purpose News and Updates
During the week of May 12 to 16, every Maternelle class put a special emphasis on “classe dehors,” spending more time teaching and learning in the various outdoor spaces our school has to offer.
May was a month of celebration, marked by considerable construction milestones and a significant grant award for the capital campaign. Framing and roofs are now in the picture and the campaign has reached 30% of its goal.
On April 2, at their Board of Trustees meeting, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust board of trustees approved a $200,000 grant for the French International Grow With Us Capital Campaign.
The April campus transformation includes a lot of work over spring break, where crews took advantage of the dry conditions. The campaign committee is brainstorming creative ideas for later this spring while they continue having leadership conversations.
Every week, the Maternelle site continues to evolve as buildings are coming into formation and we look forward to opening these new classrooms later this year. In addition, our campaign committee is continuing with leadership conversations as our school grows and our campus transforms.
