A Place with Purpose
We will create a unified, expanded, sustainable campus that serves and embodies the school’s mission.
We Will
Design a comprehensive master site plan that will guide the long-term future of our campus, and design permanent Maternelle and Lower School classrooms that support our innovative and unique programs.
Launch a Capital Campaign that supports Phase Two of campus development, including new Maternelle and Lower School classrooms, improved safety and traffic flow, and enhanced flexible spaces for student learning.
Actively pursue the acquisition of adjacent properties to broaden the opportunities French International offers students.

Innovation in Action: STEAM Across the Lower School
STEAM learning promotes hands-on exploration. This month, fifth graders create 3D-printed machines that convert solar energy to kinetic energy, third graders build Rube Goldberg machines to learn about simple machines and problem-solving, and second graders connect circuits with storytelling through kamishibai scenes. The STEAM lab encourages creativity and practical application of science and was made possible by a grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and our generous capital campaign donors.
A New Chapter Begins: Maternelle Buildings Open at French International
The Maternelle buildings are officially opened, marking a major milestone in the campus transformation. TPS through first graders moved into the new classrooms, spaces specifically designed for young learners.
October Brings Major Milestones in Construction and Campaign Growth
The Grow With Us Capital Campaign has surpassed the $3 million mark thanks to the largest contribution to date. ACE week brought significant progress on the construction side with two buildings in the final steps before completion.
September Campus Transformation
It was a busy summer on campus as the Maternelle buildings reach their final stages. Each of the four Maternelle buildings saw significant progress during the warm weather, and crews are working hard to get them completed. On the campaign side, we have two new co-chairs of the Capital Campaign Committee who are excited to be part of the process.
A Week of Outdoor Learning in Maternelle
During the week of May 12 to 16, every Maternelle class put a special emphasis on “classe dehors,” spending more time teaching and learning in the various outdoor spaces our school has to offer.
