Step 1 ▶︎ Discover LFT
Open House Events: Come visit us during our Open House Events held twice a year, in November and January. It's an excellent opportunity to discover our school, meet our teachers, and interact with our students. Guided by our students, you'll get a firsthand look at their daily lives and experiences. After all, who can speak about their school better than the students themselves?
Individual Visits: If you cannot attend the Open House Events, our admissions manager is available to schedule individual visits at any time of the year. Take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions about the admission process and learn more about our school.
Mid-Year Enrollment: We accept mid-year enrollments based on available spaces.
Priority for spaces in the PreK class will be given to students who are 2 years and 6 months old at the start of the school year (September). Please contact the admissions office to check if a space is available.
Eligibility for non-French-speaking Students: We welcome non-French-speaking students in our Kindergarten program, including TPS/PS (PreK), MS (JK), and Grande Section (SK) classes.
