Our son attended French Elite Montessori this summer, and we had a very positive experience. He can have difficulty adjusting to new environments and started without knowing anyone, so I was really impressed by how supported he was by the staff. Mme Soma and Mme Annick were kind, patient, and attentive, and they helped him feel safe, confident, and more independent. Every time I picked him up, he had a smile on his face. Over the summer, we saw him grow in his communication, confidence, and independence. It really spoke to the level of care and support the school provides. We’re very grateful for his experience there and would happily recommend French Elite Montessori to other families.

My son joined FEM exactly one year ago, and the progress I’ve seen since then is truly incredible. The joy, confidence, and curiosity he’s developed say everything about this environment. What I love most is how learning is wrapped in play and fun. It’s not a rigid curriculum, and not just play-based either—it’s meaningful learning through joy. They support each child’s interests individually. My son showed interest in math, and instead of limiting him to age expectations, they encouraged him and gave him tools to grow. At the same time, he’s learning about the world around him, life skills, and independence. Simple things like dressing himself, hygiene, and confidence in daily routines have made a huge difference at home. Despite us not speaking French at home, my son understands and speaks French confidently. Socially, the growth is beautiful to watch. From being one of the youngest, he’s now caring, confident, and protective of younger children—like a big brother. Seeing the joy when he arrives and hearing the other children call his name is incredibly heartwarming. I’m deeply grateful to all his teachers for their dedication and love. I wanted a place where my son could fully be himself—but what I found was far beyond that. This school supports children emotionally, academically, socially, and personally. I couldn’t be more thankful.
My son loves learning and playing at French Elite. The school is very well-organized, clean and tidy, offering a wonderful immersive environment for both English and French. All the faculty members are friendly, patient and professional. I would like to extend my family's sincere appreciation to Mme Annick, Ms. Soma and Ms. Shannon for their excellent work, as well as to Mr. Duke for his tremendous behind-the-scenes support to everyone.My son can’t wait to go back to school in summer. Keep up the great work everyone.
