French Immersion Schools in Brooklyn

This page lists every French immersion and French curriculum school in Brooklyn, public and private, and all of them in Brooklyn itself — each with its program type, tuition, enrollment and accreditation. It is one metro area of an independent directory covering 239 schools across 34 US states.

Dual language programs follow the American curriculum with the school day split between French and English; French curriculum schools follow the French national program and are accredited by the French Ministry of Education. The two private schools, International School of Brooklyn and Smith Street Arts & Lettres, charge between $40,000 and $53,000 a year.

Brooklyn has twelve French-language schools across nine neighborhoods, more than any other New York City borough. Ten of them are free public schools with a French dual language program.

At the elementary level (six schools, PK–5) the programs are at PS 110 - The Monitor School (Greenpoint), PS 133 - The William A. Butler School (Park Slope), PS 20 - The Clinton Hill School (Fort Greene), PS 3 - The Bedford Village School (Bedford-Stuyvesant), PS 5 - Dr. Ronald McNair School (Bedford-Stuyvesant) and PS 58 - The Carroll School (Carroll Gardens). The track continues in middle and high school at Boerum Hill School for International Studies (Cobble Hill), Fort Greene Preparatory Academy (Fort Greene), I.S. 136 Charles O. Dewey (Sunset Park) and IS 318 - Eugenio Maria De Hostos (Williamsburg).

What AEFE homologation, LabelFrancÉducation, the American accreditors and the International Baccalaureate each certify is explained in the guide to accreditations and credentials. For younger children, a separate daycare directory covers French daycares and preschools. You can also see every French school in New York, or browse the full national directory.
