Making our curriculum unique and empowering

Our curriculum was designed to enable our students to build a strong foundation for true bilingualism, inspire them to strive for academic excellence, and foster their social, emotional and physical development.

Multifaceted curriculum

Based on the French National Education guidelines and enhanced by various educational approaches and learning principles, our programs promote creativity, self-discipline, independence, active learning, and positive reinforcement.

We work closely with the Massachusetts Department of Education to ensure that our curriculum is compliant with the highest academic standards of the American education system, and to facilitate a seamless transition to public schools.

This blend of various learning philosophies and programming enables us to adapt to every child and their different learning needs, help them develop the skills necessary to become lifelong learners, and prepare them for academic success.

At EFB, our curriculum is . . .

Active

Students are invited to fully participate in every aspect of their learning. Teachers encourage our students to experience new concepts through experimentation, hands-on activities and critical thinking. We believe that knowledge is built through active work and cannot be acquired passively.

Encouraging

Students are encouraged to follow their interests and take positive risks in our classes. We provide hands-on, self-paced, joyful and challenging activities for students to take on, giving them opportunities to experiment and experience in safe, positive ways.

Playful and creative

Creating an environment that fosters creative expression is essential to learning. We promote play-based learning and in-class projects that let students express their knowledge creatively. By developing creative and analytical thinking, along with cognitive and motor skills, students gain the tools they need to thrive as they grow.

Child-Centered

We integrate varied pedagogical approaches to foster skill development and a strong, positive self-image. Our lessons support physical, intellectual, and emotional growth, while small class sizes and a high teacher-to-student ratio allow for a personalized learning experience tailored to each child’s needs.

Immersive

Most classes and activities are taught in French, with English gradually integrated, reaching up to 40% in CM2 (5th grade). This approach fosters true bilingualism while immersing students in the language, traditions, and perspectives of French-speaking cultures, enhancing both linguistic proficiency and cultural understanding.
