French Immersion Schools in Virginia

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

Every school here is a dual language program, following the American curriculum with the school day split between French and English. None follows the French national curriculum. Those flagged LabelFrancÉducation carry the French government's label for strong French programs abroad, awarded by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.

Virginia has 2 French-language public schools. Kent Gardens Elementary in McLean (Fairfax County) is part of the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC and serves the DC metro area French community — see the Washington DC Area metro guide. Robious Elementary in Midlothian (Chesterfield County) is in the Richmond metro area, roughly 100 miles south of DC, serving a separate market.

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 Washington DC Area daycare directory covers French daycares and preschools. You can also see the Washington DC 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.
