The French Explorer School
Your child will speak, read and write French.
Without a word of French at home.
Real conversation, every week with a teacher who knows your child and follows them year after year.
Every lesson is built around your child, ages 7 to 15: their level, their interests, what blocks them. And each year, my students come together on one shared project, where each of them writes at their own level.

Testimonials
I have always believed that true education not only imparts knowledge but also ignites a child’s passion for the world.
I wholeheartedly recommend Miss Anne, my child’s French teacher. From classroom lessons to online teaching, and even to the meticulously organized French Family Camp, she has opened a door to foreign languages and cultures for us though her enthusiasm, patience and professionalism.
Yan W.
Mom of Leo, a student from China.
It’s often said that no matter which school you attend, having a good teacher is the most important thing. Miss Anne is undoubtedly the best teacher Adam encountered during his kindergarten years ! As the Chinese saying goes, she embodies all the qualities of an exceptional educator. And above all, the most crucial thing is that she genuinely loves the children from the bottom of her heart !
Sandy L.
Mom of Adam, a student from China.
As a non-french-speaking family, choosing a French-based multilingual program felt like a big challenge, but Anne gave us the confidence to take that step. We feel incredibly lucky that our daughter’s early learning journey started with her. (…) What I love most about her is her teaching philosophy. She doesn’t believe in pushing kids too far ahead but instead prepares them just enough so they feel confident in school without losing interest.
