Testimonials
Who built history with us
EFB’s preschool years are filled with enriching experiences and we are consistently impressed by the academic growth as our kids move into older grades. My eldest’s remarkable proficiency in French language speaking, reading, and writing, is a testament to the outstanding support and guidance provided by the dedicated teachers.
We came to EFB as we are a Franco-American family. We loved the school from day 1: on Parents-Teachers night, week 2, we were so happily surprised that we found such a professional, caring, highly qualified, thoughtful, and dedicated team of teachers and staff! Also with a wonderful community of parents and children, from all over the world, many of which quickly became close friends.
We have two children attending EFB and feel so lucky to have found this school. While we loved the French immersion aspect, it also was important that the school itself be a nurturing environment. We found that at EFB with the small size and the teachers who have all been warm and experienced.
We have felt lucky to be part of the EFB community for 5 years now. Our two kids have been loved, nurtured, and supported by a wonderful group of teachers, administrators, parents, and classmates. While we were originally drawn to the school for french immersion, we have been impressed beyond our expectations by all aspects of the school.
