Are teachers in the immersion program native speakers of French?
The school seeks a balance of native French speakers and American-born teachers. All the teachers communicate at a native or near-native level. Many of the American teachers have traveled and lived extensively abroad. In addition, L’Etoile du Nord French Immersion School is fortunate to host visiting Teacher Interns. These are typically young adults from around the world who come to Saint Paul for a year to share their language and cultures with our students. This year, the French Immersion community is host eight interns from Senegal and France.
