Q & A with the founder

What is La Petite École?

A French school focusing on the children only: “Les enfants d’abord”

What is your relationship with the parents?

There is a moral contract established between the school and the parents. Our aim is to be partnered with them for the well-being of the child so that there are no inconsistencies between the school and home. If different philosophies and education rules are being taught to the child in the two environments they become confused.

What are the benefits of learning a second language?

Find detail information about the benefits of learning a second language here.

You have reached over 200 students in a few years, what is the key to your success?

Through continuing to make sure the quality of the education we provide is top tear and delivering on what we promise. When parents are happy they spread the word about our school, and 85% of our new enrollment is through referrals made by our parents!

What happens to a student leaving La Petite École to go into the American system?

Our students benefit from learning a second language by becoming fantastic at adapting to their environment. Our students demonstrate a real interest in learning and have no issue being in an English only environment. The transition being the two language system to the American system is quick and teachers are always pleased to greet well-educated and rounded students.

What is your policy on homework?

At LFSD homework should be only finishing what schoolwork a student did not have time to finish in class because, in our point of view, homework should not be a burden to the family environment.
