French Immersion Schools in Florida

This page lists every French immersion and French curriculum school in Florida, public, charter and private — each with its program type, tuition, enrollment and accreditation. It is one state 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 private schools charge from $12,000 to $22,000 a year, averaging about $17,000.

Florida's 11 French-language schools are concentrated in South Florida, with 10 in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. The eleventh — The French American School of Tampa Bay (St. Petersburg) — is the only French-language school on the Gulf Coast.

The standout in the state is International Studies Charter School (ISCHS) in Miami, one of very few public US schools offering the French Baccalaureate through a direct AEFE partnership. Coral Gables adds two free public programs (G.W. Carver Middle and International Studies Preparatory Academy) forming a public middle-to-high school track.

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, the Miami Area daycare directory covers French daycares and preschools. You can also see the Miami Area metro page, or browse the full national directory.

We hope you will find this directory useful, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments or additional information on the schools listed here — or a school we are missing.
