Reviews of Le Lycée Français de San Diego
"Fantastic school! Two of my children have attended La Petite Ecole since 2017 and they are currently in second and third grade. While we are native French speakers, my younger child, having attended a English-speaking preschool, did not speak French before starting “Moyenne Section” (Pre-K). He caught up very fast and now speaks fluently in both languages, as we do in our truly bilingual home. Teachers at LPE are phenomenal and, along with the low ratio of students to teacher, that ensures that every child is addressed individually and in a way tailored to their needs. I know that some teachers give particular attention/tutoring to children in English –only households. Before Covid hit, we already loved the school – it is a small, caring, really fun school where you end up knowing everybody very fast. I volunteered at the Multi-Cultural Fair one year to present my home country of France, and I was amazed at the children’s curiosity, knowledge and engagement. But really, the school’s handling of Covid was most impressive to me: schools were shut down on a Friday, and due to the foresight and planning by the administrative staff and teachers, the children had online classes the very next Monday. Everyone adapted very quickly to the “new normal” of online classes. We struggled in our family unit to all work remotely from home (it doesn’t helps that our baby’s daycare had shut down too), but teachers were very attentive and offered extra support, particularly to our oldest who was having trouble with his math exercises. The school reopened in September for in-class instruction (still offering a virtual option for those who preferred), and our children went back into the classroom. The reopening plan was very well thought out and executed, with parents becoming involved in steps taken by school staff: e.g. parents that were epidemiologists and physicians helping with the plan; parents setting up Plexiglas partitions and creating the infrastructure for social distancing and remote learning… The efforts paid off – since September there have only been 2 confirmed cases of Covid (1 family) , and no in-school transmission. The drop-off an pick-up lines are very efficient. The kids are learning and thriving in school and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to go to LPE. The school is planning development of its sports programs, which we are very much looking forward to. Our boys attend the judo classes offered at the school (pre-pandemic, in the school’s own dojo, and virtually now), and they love it. We feel fortunate to have a judo champion as a PE teacher and judo instructor! Our third child will start preschool at LPE in time as well, and we are looking forward to having all our kids grow and learn in such a thoughtful, stimulating place."
"Great school. Our 2 daughters have excelled in their studies and have stayed at the top of their class in high school. Our older girl has been accepted into all the universities she applied to. Why? I strongly believe it is the result of the early, bilingual education she received at la petite ecole. The studies have proven that investment in early, bilingual education gives your child huge, lifetime benefits. It's not just for language.. Gaby's favorite subjects are math and science which she was very well prepared for. Please don't hesitate to learn more about this school."
"Our family loves LPE and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-quality and truly French education, the opportunity for your child to learn in two languages, small class sizes, caring and excellent teachers and administrators, and a school environment where your child will have the opportunity to learn to be a global citizen. This will be our son’s second year at LPE and last year’s experience solidified the decision to have him continue with LPE beyond preschool and into elementary school. We do not speak much French at home and it was surprising how quickly our young son adjusted to being in an environment where French is spoken most of the day. Last year there were families with children attending LPE from, I believe, more than 25 different countries and different socioeconomic levels. LPE provided the educational challenges our son needed to advance, but also focused on a balanced curriculum, including a lot of art projects and fun, as well. Overall, the administration and teachers adjusted quickly and effectively to the challenges presented by COVID-19 in spring 2020. The distance learning program was up and running effectively in about 2 business days. They are now prepared to offer several different learning model options for fall 2020 to accommodate different families’ needs. Our son can’t wait to return in person (hopefully soon) and we feel confident that he will continue to be safe there with the school’s health and safety protocols in place. Finally, the school offers a variety of extracurricular activities that the kids love. Our son’s favorite last year was cooking class. Really awesome offerings that assist with after-school care needs as well. There is a new, dynamic French director (principal) at the school this year and there is an air of excitement about further developing and improving the LPE experience in the years to come. We have loved being a part of the friendly and diverse LPE community and are looking forward to another great year."
"Great environment for the little ones to learn french! Bonjour, hello! Mercy, thank you! The children are spoken to in french by a french speaking lead teacher that also know English to better bond! It is newly reconstructed and staff is friendly caring and fantastic activities!"
"We have been sending our children to La Petite École for 11 years and going, beginning when they were two. We are an American family who speak English at home but wanted a second language for our children. What an amazing experience it has been. They are bilingual! And in fourth grade they begin Spanish. Wonderful French teachers, diverse student population, small classes enabling teacher attention, French curriculum aligned with California/US education requirements. Our oldest has transitioned seamlessly to public middle school. Incredible value for full language immersion, private school education."
