2026 Grade A School by Niche
L'Etoile French Immersion School is a private preschool through 5th grade in Portland, with two campuses: Hood Avenue for preschool and Miles Street for elementary. It offers a full French Ministry of Education curriculum organized in cycles: Petite Section, Moyenne Section, Grande Section; CP-CM2 in primary. Instruction is bilingual, with about 75% of learning in French and 25% in English, taught by native French teachers. About 90% of the faculty are certified by the French MoE. The calendar mirrors public schools; the academic day runs 8:30 am–3:00 pm, with aftercare 3:00–6:00 pm and optional early drop-off. Facilities include indoor gyms on both campuses and the Fulton Park auditorium used as a community space when not in use. Distinctive features include field trips to France for fifth graders, a San Juan Islands trip for fourth graders, and after-school offerings in robotics, arts, music, soccer, and more, all within a bilingual, culture-aware environment.
