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.
