Our mission is to bring together a diverse community of students and an international teaching staff to develop critical thinkers, global citizens and engaged learners through immersion in the French language and Francophone cultures.

Important Notice about 2009-2010 Kindergarten Enrollment

On October 13, the Académie Lafayette Board of Directors voted that Open Enrollment for the 2009-2010 Kindergarten class would take place between Nov. 3 and Dec. 15, 2008. At the end of open enrollment, we will do one of two things:

1. If we have received more applications than available slots, all names will be put into a lottery and we will draw for the 2009-2010 Kindergarten class.
2. If we have received fewer applications than slots, all applications will be accepted and the remaining slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis until full.

In either scenario, parents will be notified by January 15 as to the status of their application.

Siblings of current Académie Lafayette students will have priority over non-siblings, as outlined in our original charter. However, these students must enroll during the open enrollment period from Nov. 3 to Dec. 15. If you have a question about this policy, please contact Rachael Gordon at (816) 361-7735.
