Élémentaire

Grades 1 – 5

Élémentaire is the first stage of formal learning. We will nurture their young minds while challenging them to take big steps. Arriving elementary students do not need to have fluency in French or English. Your student will strengthen, or develop, their fluency in French and/or English depending on their native language. Along with their immersion in francophone culture, students will receive instruction in Spanish and US learning standards.

A Strong Foundation

Our elementary program provides the foundation for the Eiffel Student Journey. Our 1st Grade classroom is mostly independent, but we utilize mixed-age classrooms to encourage peer-to-peer learning and mastery-based learning.

All students are free to progress at their own pace, even if it means moving advancing beyond their current grade in a particular subject area.
