School Overview

Tucked into Oakland's diverse East Bay landscape, Francophone Charter School of Oakland offers something genuinely rare: a full French-immersion education from kindergarten through eighth grade that draws families who want their kids to grow up bilingual in a city that already embraces multilingualism. It's a natural fit for francophone families, expats, and parents who are simply passionate about language learning early on. Oakland's vibrant, multicultural energy makes it an ideal backdrop for a school like this — and graduates leave with both strong academics and a second language that opens doors well beyond the Bay Area.
