HOW DOES FAM DIFFER FROM A PUBLIC IMMERSION SCHOOL?
Our school follows the French curriculum and is taught exclusively by native French teachers, which is not the case in other French immersion schools. It also follows the Minnesota standards to make future transition to another school easy. Our student/teacher ratio is low and perfectly balanced: teachers are able to give each child an individualized and personalized education, and students still have enough opportunity to socialize and interact together. There are also many opportunities for interactions between grades; older students are often involved in the lower grades for presentation, exposs, reading-aloud, etc. Because of this interaction, students feel like an important element in their community.
