How do you assess French proficiency for students entering 1st through 5th grade? Because Kindergarten represents the final point of entry for students who do not yet speak French, candidates applying for 1st through 5th grade participate in a French language assessment to ensure academic compatibility. Conducted collaboratively by the classroom teacher and the pedagogical director, this evaluation utilizes age-appropriate metrics to gauge oral comprehension, expressive speech, literacy, and overall readiness for our immersion environment. This process serves as a supportive tool to verify that an incoming student possesses the foundational French proficiency necessary to confidently access our rigorous grade-level curriculum and seamlessly thrive within the L’Etoile community.
