French After School Programs with EFNY

3438642186?profile=originalEducation Française à New York (EFNY) strives to create a New York City in which all school children, regardless of family income, have access to high quality French language education.  The mission of our not-for-profit organization is to facilitate and provide affordable educational opportunities for New York City’s school children to acquire, maintain, or deepen their knowledge of the French language and Francophone cultures. We fulfill this mission by supporting the creation of French dual language classes in New York City public schools and organizing French language after school classes.

In the 2012-2013 school year, our focus is on dual language middle school creation and further supporting our strong after school program.  Via its Board members, EFNY is facilitating the opening of NYC’s first French dual language middle school program – at MS 51 in Brooklyn – and is supporting parents’ efforts to launch a middle school program in Manhattan, hopefully also in September 2013.  Our after school classes also continue to grow: EFNY now offers rigorous, highly differentiated French language classes at six sites in Manhattan and Brooklyn, serving nearly 200 elementary and middle school students.  We are in the process of instituting uniform teaching standards and pupil expectations across the sites.  In addition, our Board recently expanded to include three new members: Céline Beloeil, the Board’s first French dual language teacher; Philippe Coste, New York Correspondent for L’Express and the Board’s first full-time journalist; and Hannah Helms, a dual language parent working on middle school creation. We will also soon send out a call for volunteers to help us sustain these vital programs – we need you!  For more information on our activities, please visit efny.net.
