Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orléans is a private, independent French-immersion school in Louisiana that blends the French national curriculum with an American program to create a bilingual learning community for students from 18 months through 8th grade. Accredited by the French government (preschool 2005; Cycle 2 2010; Cycle 3 2012) and, since 2022, by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest and NAIS, the school serves about 450 students in a two-building campus with a renovated third building, a playground, and a garden. Divisions include Maternelle (18 months–Kindergarten), Élémentaire (1st–5th), and Collège (6th–8th). From early years, students are immersed in a second language and participate in art, music, movement, and physical education multiple times weekly. After-school programs include piano, gymnastics, ballet, tennis, cross country, swimming, soccer, and rugby. Distinctive features include the Ateliers after-school enrichment, German language offerings, and community events such as Fête Française, reflecting a bilingual, bicultural ethos.
