Bilingualism in French and English in Middle School
Introducing Our New American Track.
There are many benefits to being bilingual. And French is one of the most spoken and fastest growing languages in the world. As a parent, you want the best education for your child and research shows that mastering 2 languages improves attention, information management and organization ability. But it is often difficult to actually be bilingual, and even more so if you start late. That is why the French American Academy has built a new American Track specifically designed for children in Middle School with no background in French. This track uses a proven methodology and a dedicated structure that will give your child solid foundations in French and valuable skills based on culture differences.
