Created in 2014 by French Morning to bring together all the principal players in bilingual education offerings in New York, and offer a place for families to discover all of their available options, the Bilingual Fair returns on Saturday, November 2nd, from 10 am to 3 pm. For the occasion, French Morning has joined forces with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, who are hosting the show in the magnificent Villa Albertine.
Participation is free to all, but registration is required.
Around twenty exhibitors will be on hand to present on French-English bilingual education, with topics including private and public schools, after-school programs, tutoring, and more. You’ll be able to meet school representatives, all gathered in one place for the day.
