Our Mission

We are a non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting French Immersion education in Iberia Parish. We work closely with North Lewis Elementary School to enhance the learning experience of students and teachers involved in the French Immersion program.

We provide essential French-language materials for the curriculum, promote cultural and linguistic enrichment through community events, and celebrate the Francophone world.

Who
we are

We are parents and teachers of students from diverse backgrounds who aim to promote and develop the French language within the community.

Our French Immersion Team

It’s a diverse team of educators that includes teachers from Belgium, Cameroon, France, Togo, and the United States—some of whom are former immersion students. They work in close collaboration with ELA teachers.
