I am very pleased to announce the creation of a new French dual language program in New York at PS05 in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn). I was able to sit down with Principal Lena Gates and Benoit Busseuil, a French parent who serves on the school's leadership committee.

The school is accepting applications for its upcoming pre-K and Kindergarten French dual language classes. Everyone is welcome to apply. School tours and a townhall meeting are coming up next.

Help us get French books and other teaching resources for the school please, particularly for early grades. You can also make a donation through the FACE Foundation which supports the expansion of French dual language programs throughout the city and country http://face-foundation.org/french-dual-language-program/donate.html

Student teachers can also contact me if they would like to work. Teachers with NYS certification and the bilingual extension are also needed.
