The study of French is integrated into the core curriculum at My First Montessori School. The children benefit from our unique French program which primarily focuses on oral language and instilling correct habits for pronunciation. From a young age, children can more easily absorb information and excel in learning a new language, which enhances overall cognitive skills, helps strengthen critical thinking, and problem solving.

French lessons are presented naturally, humorously, imaginatively, and with limited English usage. Reinforcing the Montessori principles, vocabulary is introduced via concrete items, as well as stories, rhymes, mime, games, songs, art activities, and puzzles which are integral to the program.

The classroom provides a rich background for learning a new language. Group lessons consist of eight to twelve students, allowing for individual attention and oral interaction. The learning and application of French is achieved through various activities such as formal and informal conversation, interactive activities, and songs to stimulate usage of the language.

There are also opportunities for private French tutoring lessons. This allows for one-on-one attention and language development at the pace of the child versus in a group setting.
