School Notes
- Ourmission is simple. We educate, inspire, and empower our students intellectually, emotionally, and physicallyby recognizing effort, progress, and success equally. Such is our ethos, ourraison d'tre-- and it just so happens we do it all in French!
- Our vision extends beyondthe French languageand even beyond the traditional core academicsubjects to providing a safe and nurturing environment in which our students learn the skills necessaryto think independently, to wonder inquisitively,to reason empirically, and to solve creatively with great kindness,respect, empathy, compassion, curiosity, determination, and resilience. In other words, we aim to provide our students with a strong sense of community and togetherness as the foundation upon which they can endlesslydraw as they grow and go into the world to do their part.
- It is our profound convictionthat all children can, through encouragement and sound guidance,reach their full potential to become responsible global citizens -- prepared, equipped, and poised to contribute positively to society. We know that "becoming" is a daily process carried out over many years and that a strong foundation in both academics and character-building is key.This conviction focuses our vision, feeds our philosophy, and molds our mission.

Excellent program, caring teachers, nice classroom spaces, many outdoor playgrounds. Lots of enrichment options such as piano, ballet, judo, cooking, singing, sports, French, Spanish, origami, gardening, chess, etc.!! Frequent and clear communication from admin staff, daily photo and video updates for each class, awesome PTA, lots of parent involvement, many family events. I could go on and on. If you visit, you'll see lots of smiles and laughter. Students and teachers love their school and it shows. Hands down the best French school in Palm Beach County, highly recommend!

Being a staff member here has made me realize the huge influence that school has in childhood, second only to parents. With this comes the responsibility as educators to not just teach but to guide, to nurture, and to understand each child; Not as things to be molded, but people to be unfolded.I've been here for about 5 years now and in that time I've come to think that the most important field you can work in is education. This is a school that knows the importance of its work and tries in every way to give all the students its best. I love being a part of it and even if I leave Florida, this will be the place that I revisit as my inspiration for being a teacher. So glad I decided to work here one summer, it was the best choice and the greatest gift.

Le Petit Prince has been such a pleasure for my daughter. The immersion has been such an opportunity for her to become bilingual simply by learning in French rather than having it presented as a "second language". The program has been thoughtfully and brilliantly organized. I was particularly impressed by the new music program that had started last year. The teachers beautifully blended instruction with kindness. We were so sad to leave when we moved, but I truly hope that others will continue to benefit from all this school offers. It is such a gem.

Le petit prince school is amazing . My daughter love it . The owner and teachers are the best for your children.They are very attentive to your child on every level , your child will learn a lot of skills , learn to speak French and will enjoy the school until the end of the day .The school is extremely clean .I definitely recommend this school to everyone , we live 35-40 minutes away from the school but we never regret having to do it especially when your child is happy before and after the end of school day . Thank you to all the team to make our children happy, loved and teach them the French language.

I cannot express with enough enthusiasm, how grateful i am to be a part of this community. True language immersion at an age where the opportunity is unparalleled, is in itself amazing, but exposing my toddler to French, is only one of the many amazing things Le Petit Prince is enriching his life (and mine) with. The teachers, the parents, the approach to shaping these little minds far beyond shapes and numbers...the compassion.. the energy..... i cannot say enough about Le Petit Prince on every level.

I can tell you from personal experience, it has been an honor and a privilege to work at Le Petit Prince! It is a loving environment with a close-knit family feel! It is a fabulous school leading with a velvet glove. The teachers, director of the school and other staff members are very warm, supportive and available! You couldn't be more pleased with the love, care and attention your child gets from the amazing staff. The school also offers wonderful enrichment programs for after school. The education is also Top, Top, Top!!! Their approach to teaching is much more progressive and superior to most private schools. I wish I could bring the school and all staff members (my family) with me when I move!!
