Why the FrenchLanguage?
• Over 220 million people in approximately 50 countries around the world speak French.
• French is the language of the future (Forbes Magazine). It will be spoken by 750 million people by 2050.
• French means opportunities. The ability to speak French is an advantage for finding a job in a broad range of sectors including international affairs, luxury goods, aeronautics, fashion, the culinary arts, culture, and more.
• A bilingual brain is a smarter brain (Psychology Today). It increases mental flexibility. Bilinguals will have two or more words for a single object or idea.
• Dual language education helps children build self-esteem, creativity, problem-solving skills, and math ability.
• Multilingualism builds bridges and while bilingual children maintain a strong sense of identity, they also develop empathy towards other people and cultures.
