A tremendous disappointment. The leadership is absent, the teachers are unsupported and the facility is neglected. The school is shrinking as a result. Strongly advise talking to other members of the community before sending your child here as many others have had similar experiences.

My two kids love, love, love the school. It keeps them focused and happy learning at the same time. Wholeheartedly recommend EFDM to anyone with the notion of language immersion and an international-style education.

My son attended EFDM from pre-school through 6th grade. We would have sent him there for middle school too if it had been an option. Neither my husband nor I speak French but our son continues to be fluent. He is now a high school sophomore and has continued studying French with EFDM's DELF program. When we were applying to middle schools, I believe that the fact that my son had attended EFDM gave him a real edge. His transition to middle school was seamless academically. Our experience with EFDM was excellent.

Overall very disappointing. Love the initial concept of creating an immersion experience in which to learn a language. Colossal failure by the time they removed the decent teachers and try to cut corners in every way imaginable. And its present form, it is a shotty daycare, where the teachers experi...

There was so much wrong at the school that it wasn’t worth it in the end. Poor advancement in French, English and other subjects (I don’t want to pay tuition and pay tutors to supplement), social circles that were too small and the head of school publicly shaming and flaming parents who asked for co...
