FISW is a private bilingual preschool and elementary school serving children ages 2 to 11. Conveniently located at the border of Bellevue and Issaquah, just off Exit 13 on I-90, our school offers a nurturing, inquiry-based learning environment where students thrive in both French and English.
Accredited by the French Ministry of Education and the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS), FISW blends the strengths of French and American curricula to foster curiosity, confidence, and global awareness. Through small class sizes, personalized instruction, and a strong sense of community, students develop academic excellence, bilingual fluency, and intercultural understanding.
Our program encourages children to think critically, collaborate effectively, and become lifelong learners. Families from all linguistic and cultural backgrounds are welcome, and no prior French experience is required.
