Les Castors French Immersion Center

Full French Immersion in Charleston

Les Castors is one of the few French immersion centers in the Lowcountry, running daycare, after-school, and summer camp programs entirely in French. Led by Directrice Madame Dominique, the school uses a mixed-age classroom model that mirrors traditional French education philosophy.

Programs Offered

Les Castors provides continuity across age groups and seasons:
- Full French immersion daycare
- After-school French programs
- Summer French immersion camps
- Mixed-age classroom setting
- Year-round French-language curriculum

What's Included

• Native French-speaking staff
• Immersive daily environment — no English during class
• Play-based and thematic learning
• Affiliation with Alliance Française de Charleston
• Multiple formats matching family schedules

Experience

Les Castors fits Charleston-area families serious about French — whether through family heritage, francophone ties, or long-term bilingual goals. The full-day immersion model means kids develop real conversational French rather than the surface exposure of once-a-week classes.
