L'Etoile French Immersion School

At L’Etoile French Immersion School in Portland, we offer an outstanding private preschool and elementary education for children ages 2 through 5th grade. Located in the heart of Portland in John’s Landing, families from Multnomah, Sellwood – Moreland, Burlingame and Hillsdale areas love how we make learning fun and exciting.

Since 2011, our full French immersion program has empowered students to become confident, capable bilingual learners fluent in both French and English. With small class sizes and native French-speaking teachers, students benefit from a globally recognized curriculum, which follows the French Ministry of Education’s cycle-based approach to support each child’s academic and personal growth.

Through hands-on learning, creative exploration, and enriching experiences in the arts, technology, and physical education, students develop a lifelong love of learning within a close-knit community known for its generous spirit, where every child feels deeply known, supported, and at home. Opportunities like field trips and international travel (including a 5th grade trip to France) further bring learning and culture to life. We are recognized as a 2026 Grade A School by Niche and fully accredited by the AEFE.
