Introduction

Frenz School Inc is a non-profit making New Zealand organization operated by a group of volunteer parents.

Created in 1994, the Frenz School Inc. association which mission is to develop and sustain a bilingual French/English education in New Zealand and to contribute to the dissemination of Francophone culture to the New Zealand public opened a French/English bilingual unit at Richmond Road School in 1996.

In 2008, we have 3 French/English bilingual units which can enroll up to 78 children.

Bilingual French/English education is primarily aimed at Francophone families who have come to Auckland either permanently or short-term and who wish to maintain their cultural and linguistic roots whilst simultaneously immersing themselves in New Zealand culture.

However, it is also aimed at non-Francophone families who would like their children to benefit from a bilingual education. The immense intellectual richness offered by a bilingual education and the exotic appeal of the near-by French Overseas Territories (Tahiti and New Caledonia) guarantee a constant and increasing interest in our Primary Unit at Richmond Road Primary School.

Our long term vision: To establish a bilingual French-English education facility encompassing preschool, primary, intermediate and high school.
