PS 20 The Clinton Hill School is pleased to announce the hiring of Sabrina Audrey Spencer, the school’s first French Dual Language Kindergarten teacher. She was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, where she was educated in French-English dual language programs from elementary school through high school.

Sabrina most recently taught at Ecole Internationale de New York, a French-English elementary school in Manhattan. Before that, she taught both ESL and English to international adult and teenage students at Kaplan International and M575, an alternative NYC DOE high school and has been a French tutor for many years.

Prior to her career in education, Sabrina worked as a freelance bilingual analyst and spent nearly twelve years with Air France-KLM in New York City working as a bilingual special services representative, senior sales analyst, bilingual analyst/technical writer and translator.

Sabrina’s many interests include a passion for languages; she speaks French Creole from Saint Lucia, where she lived from age four until eight, and she has also studied Latin, Italian, and Spanish.  She enjoys cooking and baking, and the performing and visual arts, such as photography and classic black & white films.

PS 20 The Clinton Hill School is currently enrolling children for the 2013/2014 French English Dual Language Kindergarten class, and is currently accepting applications from Francophone children both IN and OUT of zone and district. Please contact Jont Enroth at 917 602 5806 or PS20.french.program@gmail.com for more information.
