French Immersion Schools in Massachusetts

This page lists every French immersion and French curriculum school in Massachusetts, public 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 two private schools, EFB - Ecole Francaise Boston and International School of Boston, charge between $21,000 and $51,000 a year.

Massachusetts's 13 French-language schools form the Boston metro area's French network. The defining feature is Milton: a single Boston suburb with 6 schools in one public French immersion program — four elementary schools (Collicot, Cunningham, Glover, Tucker), Pierce Middle School, and Milton High School — a tuition-free public French pathway from Grade 1 through Grade 12.

Holliston (4 schools), 25 miles west of Boston, has a second public pathway, from kindergarten at Sam Placentino Elementary to Holliston High School. Cambridge has International School of Boston (private, AEFE-affiliated), and Watertown has EFB – École Française de Boston (private). Manthala George Elementary in Brockton rounds out the state.

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 Boston daycare directory covers French daycares and preschools. You can also see the Boston 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.
