Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orléans is a private, French-immersion school accredited by the French Ministry of Education for Cycles 1 – 4 (Maternelle – 8th grade) located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ecole Bilingue is the only private French school in Louisiana recognized by the Association of French Schools in North America (AFSA) and is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest. The school serves students ages 18 months through 8th grade (French course level equivalent of Crèche through Quatrième (4ème).

History

Founded, in 1998, Ecole Bilingue recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. Ecole Bilingue began as l’Ecole Maternelle, a full-immersion, French preschool, and the first class consisted of 16 four-year-old students learning about words, numbers, art and play in French. This program was the first of its kind in Louisiana. L’Ecole Maternelle grew each year and introduced its first kindergarten class in September 2002. Since then, Ecole Bilingue has grown to offer full elementary and middle school programs through the 8th grade.

When the elementary school was added, the name of the school was changed to Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Plans were set in motion in that year to gain accreditation from the French Ministry of Education, which was achieved for the pre-school classes in January 2005 and for Cycle 2 (1st and 2nd grades) in June 2010. In June 2012, the school received accreditation for Cycle 3 (3rd through 5th grades). The school received accreditation from the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest in 2023.
