At French For Fun, we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for individual academic growth and the appreciation of cultural diversity. By fostering a sense of fun and adventure our students will discover and develop language and cultural communication skills to empower them as responsible global citizens. French For Fun is a happy place, where lots of learning takes place. We teach music, math, history, geography, fine arts, grammar, cooking, dance... and we call it French For Fun. Using very little English in the immersion process, all our students are engaged in learning using the French language. This method of teaching language is referred to as content- based instruction. Truly, we are the best at using this method.

Music, movement and acting are integrated throughout the day at French for Fun, along with story telling. Each song becomes mime with children becoming characters or props, living each action and learning not only how to sing, or become comfortable acting in front of an audience but also to memorize many new expressions, which truly improve their ability to communicate in fluent French.

Research continues to demonstrate that when children are exposed to language in the early stage of development, they not only acquire vocabulary but also an appreciation for learning which lasts a lifetime. FrenchForFun specializes in working with the very young when they seem to possess an insatiable hunger for words and a remarkable ability to absorb them. We believe that our young students can be introduced to French as a second language in the same natural approach that they are learning their native language, with their family.

Learning French at French For Fun is a very physical experience not just an academic exercise. Research shows that the left hemisphere where the language center is located is affected when the right hemisphere is stimulated.

Using the T.P.R approach, Total Physical Response, our students even the tots are physically engaged and begin to internalize the vocabulary and follow directions. Popularized by James Asher in the 1960's and '70, TPR uses movement to help establish meaning and set a purpose for language use.
