New Families

The French School of Raleigh was created to offer a bilingual educational program for the children in North Carolina. We are the only French preschool and French - English bilingual kindergarten and elementary school in the State, and our school is rapidly growing.

We opened our elementary school in 2021 and have been accredited since June 2024 through the French Ministry of Education and AEFE (French Agency for the Teaching of French Abroad). We are proud to be part of an elite list of schools around the world that teach your children about the French language and culture while providing them with an exceptional education in North Carolina.

We have also begun planning the expansion of our "école" to transition to a Lycée! We have ambitious plans that will greatly benefit our children and our community, by creating a school of excellence and a future generation of bilingual French=English speakers. In our global world, this will be a certain advantage for the students' future professional lives and the promotion of peace and understanding between peoples and cultures.

We believe that meeting families one-on-one is the best way to establish a personal connection and make the most of your visit to the school, so all of our tours will be one family at a time.

We invite you to register for an in-person tour and we look forward to meeting you and your family!

During our tour and discussion, you will learn about….

The value and life-long advantages of a bilingual education
Our diverse and international community.
The qualifications of our teachers
The structure of our curriculum from our Toute Petite Section de Maternelle 1 (TPS-1= our 2 year old class) through 5th grade
Student wellbeing and social and emotional learning
And much more!
