ACADEMIE LAFAYETTE-CHERRY

Academie Lafayette’s Cherry Street campus is one of the sites for Academie Lafayette, a highly regarded, independent public charter school in Kansas City, Missouri. Founded as the first public French immersion school in the region, the institution is known for its rigorous academic environment and its mission to provide students with a global perspective. The school follows a unique curriculum where students are taught core subjects primarily in French, fostering high levels of bilingualism and biliteracy from an early age.

The Cherry Street location serves elementary-aged students as part of the school's broader network, which is well-known for its strong emphasis on international culture and linguistic proficiency. Because it is a public charter school, it operates tuition-free and utilizes a lottery-based admission system to manage high demand. Academie Lafayette is widely recognized for its high academic standards, active parent community, and its goal of preparing students to thrive in a diverse, interconnected world through language acquisition and multicultural education.
