Summary

The Ecole Bilingue de Berkeley Podcast is a space where the voices and perspectives of our community come alive. Through conversations with educators, students, and leaders, we explore the values that shape bilingual learning—from curiosity and creativity to empathy and global citizenship. Each episode offers a window into how EB nurtures inquisitive, engaged learners from age 2 through Grade 8, celebrating the joy of learning ensemble, together.

Deepest thanks to EB parent, Nicolas Lureau, for his production assistance in turning this vision to reality!

About Ecole Bilingue de Berkeley

For nearly 50 years, Ecole Bilingue de Berkeley has been an innovator in bilingual education, cultivating confident, creative and adaptable learners with a unique, immersive dual-curriculum. Every day, our Preschool through 8th grade students speak, write, and think in two languages, learning to draw parallels and find points of similarity while they learn each subject in both French and English.

EB’s program foregrounds bilingual fluency, STEM integration, critical thinking, experiential learning and individualized student support. Our vibrant community welcomes families from all backgrounds (including children with no prior French, thanks to our Accelerated French Programs at the Lower and Middle school level), celebrating the rich diversity of both the Bay Area and global Francophonie.
