Additional Information
Making French Immersion More Accessible
We believe every child should have the opportunity to benefit from a bilingual education. Thanks to our partnership with the Alliance Française de Charlotte, we have been able to adjust our tuition fees to make our programs more affordable while maintaining the small class sizes, personalized attention, and academic excellence that define The Académie – French-American School.
The tuition listed doesn’t include lunch, after-school programs, field trips, or holiday camp activities. Families seeking a simpler, all-inclusive option can inquire about our Global Tuition, which bundles additional services for convenience and peace of mind.
