Cultivating Excellence Through Bilingual Education
 
Our Maternelle is a unique bilingual immersion environment beginning at 18 months of age. As younger children have a distinct capacity to learn another language, we watch our students go from zero French to age-appropriate ability by the end of Kindergarten. Upon entering the Lower School, our students are communicating, understanding, and responding in French.

At FASPS, we blend the high standards of the French educational model with the best practices of the US education system to set children up for success. We believe that early childhood is a magical time for discovery, growth, and joy.

We recognize the unique benefits of bilingualism in children's cognitive development.  

Bilingual individuals constantly switch between languages, which requires them to inhibit one language while using another. This constant practice of switching and inhibiting enhances their executive function skills, particularly in areas like flexible thinking, problem-solving, working memory, and inhibitory control. 

This dual-language journey helps children develop better self-control and adaptability, crucial for managing emotions and complex tasks. This experience not only broadens their cognitive abilities but also boosts their confidence and communication skills, providing a solid foundation in both academic and social skills.
