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.
