Founded in 2000, Petite Ecole Internationale (PEI) offers a quality French language immersion education for children ages 2-5. Based on the principles of a Montessori education, we are a small, family-oriented, nurturing school that focuses on development of the whole child.

Designed to accommodate a limited number of students, PEI offers an intimate setting with low student/teacher ratios, individual attention, strong student/teacher relationships and an open-door policy. We value the idea of a community of learning while fostering an appreciation for cultural awareness. The school day is conducted entirely in French although no prior French experience is necessary for our new students or their families.

Merci ... to everyone who made our annual Fundraiser a great success!!   * see Fundraiser & News


Rich and Challenging

We provide a rich and challenging curriculum that allows each child to progress at his/her own pace. Our 2-3 yr olds particpate in the pre-primary program while our 3-5 yr olds continue with the primary education.

Strong Relationships

Designed to accommodate a limited number of students, PEI offers a low student/teacher ratio of 6:1 which allows for strong bonds to be formed and the maximum amount of attention given to each child.

School Hours

Our school day runs from 8am to 2:45 pm. Optional extended is from 2:45pm to 5:30pm.

Spring 2013
In the Fall of 2010, we started offering after-school French classes for older children as well. These classes run 2 days a week.
