French

In ASW French as a Foreign Language starts in PK-K and may continue until IB in Grade 12. In Elementary School. we offer the opportunity to join our program in each grade. During our classes we focus on oral skills (listening and speaking) and progressively develop writing and reading. According to the PYP philosophy we make meaningful connections with grade level Units of Inquiry, we develop trans-disciplinary skills and we never forget about French culture.
