ProgrammesBoth the English and French curricula offer instruction at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Each level includes oral and written work and offers a solid base for practice in grammar and conversation.

In general, the emphasis is placed on an improve-ment in spoken French and English but appropriate supplementary study is given in reading, writing, and comprehension skills.

Classes usually consist of 10 to 14 students. This small class size allows for more individual attention for each student and yet the groups are large enough to maintain a healthy class spirit.

Classes meet six mornings a week and Monday through Thursday evenings. Placement tests are administered at the beginning of camp and class tests are given on a regular basis. Reports are made to parents at the conclusion of the month.

The School strives to maintain a warm atmosphere and places equal emphasis on academic progress and personal well-being.
