Petite Ecole Internationale

Children ages 2 to 5 learn through a French immersion Montessori program at this Austin preschool. The curriculum uses hands-on activities, investigative learning, and collaborative play to support curiosity and independence. Early childhood instruction also develops fundamental skills, grace, courtesy, and critical thinking, with attention to the whole child. No prior French exposure is required for enrollment. Founded in 2000, Petite École Internationale pairs Montessori education with French language immersion and maintains a 6:1 student-teacher ratio. Its specialties are early childhood education and experiential learning for young children.
