We have just heard the sad news about the Science, Language and Arts International School in Brooklyn closing its doors; some parents have already reached out to us looking for an immediate solution for schooling.
In light of this shocking and untimely event, The École will do its utmost to help parents from the French SLA community transition their children to a new school and is proposing to work with all families that are interested in ensuring the continuation of their children’s French bilingual education. Due to its central location, The École already caters to a number of families from Brooklyn which is a short subway ride away.
The École has decided to put in place a special help program to enable every child from the SLA French immersion program to enroll in our school as soon as possible–provided there are seats available in the relevant grades. Not only will The École waive the Application Fee as well as the One-Time Enrollment Fee and ensure a speedy application and decision process, but we will also provide financial aid to families who have been impacted by the sudden closure of their school.
Please sign up below to attend the special in person information session that will be held in our Main Building (111 East 22nd Street) on Tuesday August 31st, from 5pm to 6pm.
