LE MONDE FRENCH IMMERSION PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL

Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Portland SD 1J school district, located in Portland, OR with about 311 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. With about 17 teachers, Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School, located on East Burnside Street in Portland, Oregon, is a tuition-free public charter school that provides students with a rigorous academic foundation through the lens of French language immersion. Serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade, the school utilizes a partial immersion model where students learn core subjects—such as math, science, and humanities—in both English and French. This approach is designed to foster high levels of bilingualism and biliteracy while simultaneously promoting cultural awareness and global citizenship among its student body.

Beyond its linguistic focus, Le Monde is characterized by a commitment to inquiry-based learning and the development of critical thinking skills. As a public charter school, it operates independently within the Portland Public Schools district, allowing for a unique educational curriculum that integrates international perspectives with local educational standards. The school emphasizes a close-knit, inclusive community, encouraging students to develop a deep appreciation for diverse cultures while preparing them to succeed in a globalized society.
