Classes Description:

French for Native Speakers 
Kindergarten & 1st grade – This class is open to bilingual students. In this class, all activities are conducted in French. It aims to develop a rich verbal language, organized and understandable by others. The child speaks and is understood through the language. He learns to be attentive to messages addressed to him, to understand and respond appropriately. The child starts the basic acquisition of the alphabet, the sounds and will be introduced to reading and writing in French.

2nd & 3rd grade – This class is open to truly fluent in French students who are reading and writing in French. In this class, all activities are conducted in French. The child is faced with varied and somewhat complex texts, while learning basic rules of grammar, spelling and conjugation and begins to write short texts.

French as Second Language      
K & 1st grade – beginners – This class is an introduction to verbal communication and is adapted to the comprehension skills of young learners. The goal is to bring the children to express simple phrases in basic social situations through various activities: stories, creative projects, songs and games.

2^nd & 3rd grade – intermediate – This is an intermediate class for students with basic verbal and comprehension skills of the French language. The children continue building their verbal and comprehension skills and expand their vocabulary through varied and playful activities.

The EFNY program follows a French-only policy in all Francophone classes, and students from these classes will have weekly assignments for efficient progress. Please help us with this by encouraging your child to follow these rules.
