Founded by experienced educators Dr. Hind Louali and Sonia and Mohammed Louali, the French School of Austin, also known as Ecole Jean Jacques Rousseau, offers full-time French instruction programs taught by highly-qualified teachers who are also native speakers. The French School of Austin/Ecole Jean Jacques Rousseau follows the standards set by the French Ministry of Education and purposefully keeps student-teacher ratios low to ensure more opportunities for one-on-one support and enhance each child’s learning experience.
Low student-teacher ratios are ideal for bilingual learning environments, where students may need extra support in reading and writing skills while learning other core subjects. Additionally, some of the anxieties associated with second language learning are measurably reduced in smaller classes. In one study, language students in classes with fewer children reported higher feelings of security, which contributed to higher levels of class participation.
The benefits are especially notable for elementary school students. More teacher attention can increase student achievement and reduce student behavioral issues. Calmer class environments are more conducive to learning and help promote a supportive class culture.
