My daughter attends ILA. The teachers are wonderful. Every one of them is experienced and able to keep my daughter engaged and learning. It is the only school in the area that offers a true French preschool experience, an introduction to academics complete with music, art, and computer instruction taught by professionals. My daughter is learning, thriving, and loving it. She now has well-developed early math and reading skills, and loves school so much that she begs to go on weekends. The people who run the school are very experienced teachers who taught at the now-gone Portland French School, and bring an enormous amount of knowledge and skill into the classroom.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
