Programs that Prepare

Over the last few weeks, first through fourth graders have participated in Field Studies. From day trips to overnight excursions, each grade's experience is curated to expand learning beyond the classroom.

Each spring, eighth graders at French International embark on international trips to enhance their language skills and cultural understanding. This year, they visited Chile, China, France, Germany, and Spain. For each trip, students connected with locals, tasted foods, learned about the country's history, and celebrated the end of eighth grade with classmates.

Eighth graders wrapped up their Shakespeare unit by creating modern adaptations of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" and "The Importance of Being Earnest." They rewrote scripts, designed sets, and directed performances, which enhanced their creative thinking, collaboration, and communication skills.

Fifth graders recently took a nine-day trip to France, focusing on language and cultural immersion. They visited Paris and La Rochelle, seeing significant landmarks, tasting French foods, and practicing their language skills. The trip is a capstone of their language learning in Maternelle and Lower School and allows students to gain valuable cultural understanding.

On March 11, eighth graders presented their Community Projects, marking a key milestone in their Middle Years Programme. Beginning in the fall, students identified topics and developed action plans, engaging in service and advocacy. The Community Project aligns with our mission to empower positive impact and foster globally responsible learners.
