Language Discovery: French

Through stories, songs, and interactive games, children are joyfully introduced to the French language. French is spoken in over 50 countries, making it one of the most widely used languages in the world.

Aligned with PYP goals, the programme builds international-mindedness, and with Montessori principles, it values repetition and oral enrichment for natural language acquisition.
