French Immersion Schools in Washington State

This page lists every French immersion and French curriculum school in Washington State, all of them 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.

No school in Washington State is a dual language program: all of them follow the French national program and are accredited by the French Ministry of Education. The private schools charge from $22,000 to $44,000 a year, averaging about $29,000.

The schools cluster around Puget Sound: French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS, Mercer Island, with a preschool campus on Capitol Hill), French Immersion School of Washington (Bellevue), Les Lilas (Kirkland), and North Seattle French School (Shoreline). There are no public or charter French immersion programs anywhere in 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 Seattle daycare directory covers French daycares and preschools. You can also see the Seattle 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.
