North Seattle French School (NSFS) is a private bilingual elementary program for ages 3–10 that blends the French curriculum with American standards and the Singapore Math method. Affiliated with Mission Laique Française (MLF), NSFS teaches preschool through 5th grade in two languages, with instruction primarily in French in the early years and a 50/50 English–French balance in 4th and 5th grades. The bilingual curriculum maps Washington State Common Core standards to the French curriculum, enabling bi-literacy and a smooth transition to either a French school or the local middle school. The program emphasizes speaking, reading, writing, thinking, creative projects, and social-emotional learning across both languages. English and French teachers co‑teach daily, supported by regular language-department collaboration. Opened in 2013, the school is located at 18560 1st Ave NE, Wing F, Shoreline Center, Shoreline, WA, with on-site turf fields, a gym, a stadium, and a bus service. The NSFS GLOBE after-school program offers clubs in arts, STEM, and more.
