What are adaptation classes?
Each year, EABJM welcomes more than one hundred new non-French speaking students. Up to CP (first grade) children are placed directly with other students at the appropriate age/grade level. Beginning in CE1 (second grade), new non-French speaking students enroll in “adaptation” classes where they follow a French immersion program. A senior advisor follows them closely and, the following year, students join the mainstream where they continue to be supported with a special French program that involves three weekly hours of special French classes over and above the standard French curriculum. Living in France provides further language and cultural immersion.
