French Communication Inst Petite Ecole Bilingue

I cannot say enough good things about PEB and Camp Voyages. We’ve been with the school for almost four years and everything about it is top notch. Amazing teachers, engaged community, advanced curriculum, and fantastic administration. Violin lessons are included in the day program. The afterschool program includes activities like karate, dance, and sign language at no extra cost. The summer camp program is mind blowing. Well planned daily trips and classes that keep your kid engaged and out and about all summer. Trips included the Statue of Liberty, local farms, dorney park, and many museums. Classes included French cooking, stem, and fencing. Families love this community so much that they start at 2.5 years and stay to be camp counselors through end of high school years. A true gem.

This school is like a hidden secret in Philly. Top quality, premium education. Yet it’s also somehow the most affordable option in the city. It’s mind blowing! My son absolutely loves it here and the teachers are all so dedicated and professional. The kids learn SO much! French, English, reading, writing, complicated math. The kids all get along and the community is strong. They also do violin twice a week in the mornings and karate in the afternoon sometimes! The facility is very clean, bright, and modern and I believe it was recently renovated. There’s also a huge space for them to run around and get their energy out. 10/10! Can’t recommend them enough!

Petite École Bilingue in Philadelphia is truly a hidden gem for families looking for a bilingual education that feels both warm and personal. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that the school has created an environment where children are not just taught, but genuinely cared for. What stands out most is how the teachers connect with each child, creating a learning atmosphere where both languages—French and English—are seamlessly woven into everyday activities. The small class sizes mean that every student gets the individual attention they need to succeed, and it's clear that the teachers are passionate about helping their students grow, both academically and personally. The curriculum is thoughtfully balanced, combining strong academics with a deep appreciation for cultural diversity.

All in all, Petite École Bilingue is a special place that offers more than just a bilingual education; it offers a sense of belonging, curiosity, and growth. If you're looking for a place where your child this school is an outstanding choice.

If I could give this school a score, I would give it more than 5 stars. Mr. Lee, the staff and the teachers are all incredible people. They changed the lives of our children. They are consistent, have an excellent French-inspiring teaching plan, foster excellence, are pushing children academically, and are just incredible human beings all-around. I would recommend this preschool to everyone I know.

This is indeed a little gem. French immersion preschool program with caring teachers, and reasonable fee. Mr. Lee Corley is a pretty good director. My daughter has been attending here for more than 6 months and she loves it. It's cute to hear her at home singing French songs she learned at school. Please read Selinda Shepherd's review below, her review is spot on. “If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I am completely offended by these comments regarding "faking reviews" as they are absolutely unwarranted. This school should be a model for other schools to follow. I have not 1 but 3 children who attend this school. They LOVE IT! and more importantly I LOVE IT! This has been the most positive experience I have ever had with a school. They are so organized and SUPER CLEAN. This school has taught my children an insane amount of knowledge in just a short amount of time. They are at least 1-2 years ahead of a "typical" curriculum. As if it's not enough for 1/2 of the day to be in French they teach them violin at no extra cost ! It blows my mind that my 3 year old can now write his name, perform simple digit math, knows all the seasons and days in French, and numbers 1-26 in French in random order, the alphabet in english and french in random order, and knows some sight words. I could go on and on about my other 2 children as well. However, the main message is that the French Communication Institute is an excellent school with excellent teachers and operators of the program who have a passion for teaching our children. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend and feel sad that I didn't know about this school sooner. Almost forgot- they also run a camp called Camp Voyages- wow! amazing as well.” – Selinda Shepherd
