Our program
Our structure offers group lessons in French based on the school programs of the French Education Nationale. We welcome French-speaking children from 2 to 17 years old who are enrolled in Australian schools. With a maximum of 6 students per class, our French lessons allow individualised monitoring of your child. Mastery of the French language is the heart of our teaching here at Francoschool, (vocabulary, spelling, grammar and conjugation) is taught by studying subjects that are absent or rarely present in Australian schools.

Our lessons
Our work is based on children's and classic literature; each term, novel, album or literary extracts are studied: comprehension, narrative structure, context, all literary aspects are worked on. The chosen book is part of the National Education reference list.
Oral expression and comprehension, reading and writing are worked on continuously for each level. The production of writing is fragmented to facilitate learning.
​
To learn to read, CPs (Kindies) use an interactive phonological reading method with the support of a manual and a textbook.
The The mastery of the language is presented as much as possible in a playful way and in various forms. Clear goals, linked to other activities, are defined. Spelling is first approached by reading, then by learning invariable words.
​
Grammar and conjugation are the subject of formal lessons at the end of CE2/CM1. For secondary school, language proficiency is addressed in connection with writing and literary comprehension.
​
​
In stage 1 and 2, the skills "Questioning the world" are an integral part of learning: situating oneself in space and time, comparing ways of life.
​
Each year from CE1, a historical novel is also studied in order to build basic knowledge of the history of France. In stage 3 and 4, this study is supplemented by more systematic work, with a study of documents and written records.
