What kind of school are you?
Les Petits Princes is first and foremost an association.
As an ethnic school, we offer a cultural and linguistic exposure
to school-age children. We are running two classes as well
as a playgroup. These classes take place every Saturday morning
(except school holidays) from 9.30 to 11.30 at the Brisbane
Boys Grammar School, Gregory Terrace, Brisbane.

What will my children learn at Petits
Princes?
Being from a French-speaking background or not, your child
will be in contact with children of a similar age, sharing
an interest in French. Each year a program is devised by our
teachers, with children being monitored individually and parents
kept informed of their progress. A preliminary assessment
of your child, taking into consideration his age, maturity
and French-speaking ability enables us to integrate him in
the most suitable group. In accordance with his capacity your
child will be offered a range of activities similar to the
ones he is exposed to during the week.
