Welcome to the Efb@ Digital French School!
Back-to-school is back!
In order to best accommodate families’ different schedules and needs as a result of the pandemic, we are offering both in-person and online versions of our After-School program! The Covid-19 crisis has driven us to offer creative alternate solutions that provide the highest-quality learning experiences to our students. In the 2021-2022 program, we are maintaining our K-8 online offerings for both the Francophone and French as Second Language tracks. Furthermore, we have several exciting additions to our course catalog:
- NEW! Online STEM classes: Along with our Astronomy and Oceanography Clubs, we are now offering two brand new Math Games Clubs (4th-6th grades and 7th-9th grades)
Registration for the Efb@ Digital French School program starting in Fall 2021 is now open! We can’t wait to see your children soon!
