LILA is a preschool to 12th grade, dual-immersion program… however, what is most important is not what we do but "how" and "why" we do it. Our slogan, “Together, shaping our future”, truly embodies LILA’s focus on community, team work, and our core values. Our teachers believe in the value of a constructivist education, they aspire to more than being the center of attention while students sit passively. The goal of our educational team is to constantly move forward… we challenge ourselves to constantly “get better” in order to reach more students and have our students go farther in their learning.  LILA is indeed a dual-immersion language school. Students learn in both French and English to become truly fluent in two languages; true statement - but the "why" behind the "what" and "how" is what really explains us as an institution of learning.

School Notes:

  • At LILA we adopt ways of thinking and expression that reflect an appreciation for cultural differences and multiple world views. Diverse groups learn more from each other when exchanging different points of view, introducing new pieces of information, and confronting alternative ideas. LILA’s small and nurturing classes facilitate the sharing of different viewpoints. Being immersed in a truly multicultural environment helps develop the ability to better understand one’s own culture - what makes it different, but also in which ways it is similar. This, in turn, helps maintain a strong sense of one’s own culture. 
 Teachers, staff and students come from all over the world, each bringing their own experiences and perspectives.  
Our students study and live in a world community every day.
