Embracing immersive learning, enriching identity, inspiring growth
From the beginning, our school made the conscious choice to create a full immersion French curriculum and school culture. As studies show, immersion programs tend to be more effective in terms of bilingualism and promoting cultural enrichment and multiculturalism.

The benefits of bilingualism
There are numerous advantages in addition to these that bi- and multilingual individuals enjoy by being able to communicate with a much wider range of people from many different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Knowledge of other languages enriches travel experiences and allows people to experience other societies and cultures more meaningfully. Besides access to foreign media, literature, and the arts, bi- and multilingual people can simply connect and converse more freely Becoming bilingual leads to new ways of conceptualizing yourself and others. It expands your worldview, so that you not only know more, you know differently.
Building minds with bilingualism and culture
Opens children’s minds
Exposure to diverse cultures, languages, and backgrounds fosters learning, empathy, and emotional intelligence, helping children develop cultural competence and a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
Flexibility and creativity
Research from the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition shows that proficient bilinguals excel in divergent thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving, outperforming monolinguals in tackling complex challenges earlier and more effectively.
Economic and sociocultural
English-proficient students in immersion programs, like EFB, match public school peers academically while gaining cognitive advantages. Bilingualism and intercultural skills offer long-term economic benefits in global industries.
