A Team Ready to Inspire

EFGB proudly hires and manages fully-certified, highly qualified faculty and staff. Beyond complying with the mission and values of our school, teachers must possess the necessary teaching skills to implement our curriculum and run our classes.

All of our teachers and assistants undergo mandatory training required by the State of Massachusetts. Each class has qualified teachers certified by Early Education and Care (EEC). Strict rules on safety, skill development requirements, and ongoing professional development are required for all staff members throughout the year.

All of our teachers are French native speaker from all over the world, and many are graduates of the French National Education system. Some of our teachers are graduated from American colleges and come with years of experience teaching in local schools. As educators, we are entrusted with the success and the well-being of the students. EFGB hires staff by following a careful recruitment and hiring process.

Each member of our staff has the ability to apply the French National Education standards while meeting the safety standards and requirements of the American educational system.

A Letter from the Founder

On behalf of our dedicated staff and welcoming community of local francophone families, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the EFGB website. We hope that you will browse these pages and discover all that we have to offer to francophone families looking to embrace true bilingualism, celebrate French culture, and provide an excellent education for their young learners.

EFGB is committed to creating a collaborative, caring and positive educational environment that promotes respect, fosters curiosity and creativity, and embraces diversity. The curriculum we have created for our academic programming inspires our students to strive for academic excellence, but also fosters their social, emotional and physical development. We hope you’ll read more about our curriculum, which is developed with both the French National Education guidelines and in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Education.

As a non-profit, community-based organization, creating positive and open relationships with our community members is a top priority. As such, I hope that you will read through our offerings and be inspired to get in touch with us. We look forward to speaking with you about your family and your goals. Let’s get started today!
