French II: 

French II deepens the student’s study of the French language and the Francophone culture. The student learns a more complex grammar in order to speak, read and write French more skillfully. The language lab enhances both oral and aural skills. An emphasis is placed on dialogues to broaden vocabulary and to gain fluidity of speaking. Films are used to introduce the student to the castles of the Loire Valley as well as popular films that have English subtitles. 

Research projects extend their familiarity with a Loire castle, other Francophone countries and a famous French person. The student is encouraged to be an active participant in hosting and visiting our sister school, Lycee Charles De Gaulle, in Dijon, France after mastering French II. This school-to-school exchange takes place every other year for 2 weeks in April and 2 weeks in June.
