At The École, we believe that the goal of education is to develop well-informed, well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate students who can create and connect to a world filled with possibilities. This belief is at the heart of our uniquely designed bilingual program, in which students learn not just to speak, read, and write in two languages but also to think, feel, and act in ways informed by two cultures. To always see, explore, and understand the world around them from two perspectives is the gift of the deeply bi-literate student.
Artfully blending the curriculum requirements and pedagogical approaches of the French and American systems, our native-speaking faculty create rich academic environments for a diverse, international student body. From Maternelle through Middle School, students at The École are guided through the core language arts, social studies, math, and sciences content, as well as character and cultural enrichment in both French and English for all subjects. In our intimate classroom settings or out in New York City’s many artistic and historical institutions, using traditional and technology-based techniques, our teachers aspire to provide individual and group bilingual learning opportunities that engage, challenge, and inspire.
The École’s mission statement – WE CARE – is the foundation of everything we do as faculty, staff, students, and families.
We cultivate a warm and nurturing environment where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. Our expert educators bring a deep understanding of bilingual and bicultural learning, ensuring that students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We foster a strong sense of community, where students, families, and staff work together to create a vibrant and inclusive school culture. With agility, we adapt to the ever-changing world, equipping our students with the skills to think critically, innovate, and lead with confidence.
Through responsiveness, we listen, evolve, and personalize learning to meet the unique needs of each child. And with boundless energy, we inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
At The École, WE CARE—for our students, for our community, and for the future.
