Programmes
Both the English and French curricula offer instruction
at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Each
level includes oral and written work and offers a solid
base for practice in grammar and conversation.
In general, the emphasis is placed on an improvement in spoken French and English but appropriate
supplementary study is given in reading, writing, and
comprehension skills.
Classes usually consist of 10 to 14 students. This
small class size allows for more individual attention for
each student and yet the groups are large enough
to maintain a healthy class spirit.
Classes meet six mornings a week and Monday
through Thursday evenings. Placement tests are
administered at the beginning of camp and class tests
are given on a regular basis. Reports are made to
parents at the conclusion of the month.
The School strives to maintain a warm atmosphere
and places equal emphasis on academic progress and
personal well-being.
