ILA offers a world-class international education, harmonizing the best of the French and American educational systems. The basic curriculum, taught in French, is organized around the 3-cycle French educational program, but blends in a host of enriching languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, and Chinese.  ILA also offers cutting-edge programs in music, technology and philosophy for children, as well as a fitness/wellness program called

Give your child the gift of a second language

Young children can learn a second or even a third language with surprising ease. Studies continue to show that students who learn multiple languages perform better in school in every way.  Early second language learners excel not only in language-related skills and self-confidence, but also in math, memory, spatial abilities, abstract and creative thinking, complex problem-solving, and, in fact, all major areas of cognitive and intellectual development. See recent articles in the New York Times, The Bilingual Advantage and Why Bilinguals Are Smarter.
