At the French International School of Philadelphia we teach a dual curriculum in French and in English. Our students learn English with their American teacher and French with their French teacher. They do not learn either language as a foreign language but rather as another language. At EFIP acquiring another language takes place at a young age when children are receptive to learning another language in the same way they are learning their mother tongue.

Through songs games art creative play movement and planned language lessons we nurture each child’s language acquisition as well as academic and social development. In preschool children spend most of their day in their French classroom with a native French-speaking teacher and an assistant. Depending on the level children have two or three hours of English class with an American teacher and an English support teacher.
Preschoolers follow a balanced schedule alternating indoor and outdoor as well as group and individual activities. After lunch there is a rest period.
