About the Program: 
Ecole Claire Fontaine is a multilingual Art, Language and Nature focused school for children aged 2-7 years on two garden campuses near the beach. As an international school caring for the whole child, we offer organic meals prepared daily in a familial setting. Our philosophy is to nurture a child’s self-esteem so that their confidence and dignity will grow. Our mission is to provide the elements that cultivate this blossoming. We are currently enrolling for 2020-2021 in-person with safety protocols and online. When conditions permit, we will return to offering a more flexible schedule. Opportunities abound for character to form while discovering the benefit and value of communication, cooperation and co-creation in a joyful environment. Infused with enthusiasm and passion, ECF blends the positive values of American and French cultures and pedagogies.
