French International School of Oregon 8500 Northwest Johnson Street, Portland, OR 97229

"French American Int'l School has been wonderful for my two daughters. Not only do they teach high-quality language immersion but the arts, technology, music and PE are all infused in their core learning. The middle school (Gilkey) gives fantastic structure for those awkward tween years. Small class sizes and a dedicated group of teachers who have been there forever make a vibrant learning environment. The IB program is an added bonus that enhances their studies considerably. The IB load starts early and continues all the way through middle school, setting them up for a rigorous high school curriculum. Not all immersion schools provide this level of high-quality studies. French American walks their talk. Plus, they are building a new facility for their middle school! It is definitely worth checking out. The one drawback is the pick up/drop off process. It gets bogged down pretty fast."

"Great engaged school. I went here, and they really care about all the students. They encourage engaged learning and multi lingual learners."

"Fantastic campus with world-class teachers and a very nice group of parents"

"The school was really cool and the staff was friendly. They held a french festival in the spring and gave the public a look into their school. The festival was really neat. They had food and music as well as vendors that complimented the school."
