Head of School, Year 4: One School
French Internatoinal families, students, staff, supporters, and alumni:
This year, we are focusing on being one school with a united vision. We will be announcing new initiatives this year based on feedback from you. Together we are moving forward while better defining who we are and who we want to become. It is our community’s connectedness that makes French International such a special place, and I am genuinely excited for the future of our school.
