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.
Our Values
Feeling regard for yourself and for others; it is being thoughtful and considerate of others
An extension of honesty; it is doing the right thing even if no one is watching.
An extension of courage; it’s the ability to recover quickly and to not give up when beset by setbacks and disappointments
The ability to move beyond ourselves, to identify with others, to walk a mile in another’s shoes
Being accountable, doing our best to meet our commitments and to keep our word
