Programs that Prepare

After a field trip to Bell's Orchards, pre-k teachers have been incorporating apples into their lessons and activities. From cooking projects to math lessons to using fine motor skills, les pommes have provided a variety of learning opportunities.

For two weeks in May, fifth graders traveled to Strasbourg, France. The France trip is a culmination of the Maternelle and Lower School experience giving students the opportunity to explore the world and practice the skills they've acquired during their time at French International.

French International preschoolers have been exploring the central idea of “We depend on each other.” The unit culminated with a crêpe celebration, where everyone had a different responsibility to make sure the event was successful.

First graders celebrated their learning and growth over the first 100 days of school. The day they included math, reading, writing, movement, and reflection on what being 100 days smarter means.

Throughout the month, French International celebrated Lunar New Year with food, art, music, and more. Parents shared their culture and backgrounds with their students' classes. Middle School hosted an assembly with traditional songs and dances. There were dumplings, stories, and art projects to help students open their minds to cultures and traditions around the world.
