Confident & Multicultural

From the earliest age, our students are immersed in a second language and in art, music, and movement. We know that by doing so, we develop students' self-expression and appreciation for other cultures.

Curious & Creative

We encourage students' innate curiosity to foster the joy of learning, and we nurture students' individual interests to grow their passions.

Character & Courage

We strive to create a place where everyone feels they belong. We celebrate languages, cultures, and perspectives, and foster our students to become compassionate leaders in a multicultural world.

Who we are

Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orléans is an independent, French-American school located in the heart of Uptown, New Orleans. We are a PK-8th grade school with programs beginning at 18 months. 

The choice to embark on a bilingual education is a life-long gift to your child, providing them an opportunity to become a multilingual, global citizen. Founded in 1998, Ecole Bilingue has established a reputation for excellence in French-American education. Our students go on to their high school of choice rooted in the values of a multi-cultural education.

From the earliest age, we immerse language, music, art, and physical education in the curriculum to foster self-expression, and by doing so, our students gain the confidence to explore the world.

Our Mission

The mission of Ecole Bilingue is to develop globally literate students through a rigorous, bilingual French-American curriculum, set in a nurturing and multicultural community. We guide our students to excel academically, foster their curiosity, and prepare them to become creative and innovative contributors to the world.
