Why Immersion?
Learning a language takes time, and the more time students are exposed to comprehensible input in the language they are learning, the better they will do.

Welcome to Petite Ecole Internationale!
We were the first French School in Austin, Tx and the only school to offer an immersion program, teaching its curriculum entirely in French.
We provide a rich and challenging environment with respect for the child's cultural background as well as a strong understanding of the U.S. context. But more important, the facility is the first of its type in Austin to use Dr. Montessori's methods in a French institution. Thanks to very specific equipment, the child can physically represent the most abstract concepts. As a result, the student is allowed to develop at his/her full potential.

In addition to the basic academics (math, language & writing), the children have access to computers, musical instruments, and cultural artifacts which widen the children's horizons. The use of different media in teaching enables the child to discover what type of learning works best for him (visual versus audio). It also provides an easy access to information

All of the countries listed above have adopted French as their OFFICIAL language.

French is spoken in a total of 38 countries across the globe making it the second most spoken language in the world (by country).
