For over 13 years, Villa Albertine and the French Consulate have supported GLOBE through the approval of grants strengthening our French Dual Language Immersion program, including:

• DLI - French specific professional development during the school year

• DLI-specific conferences

• Language Assistants (SY 2013–2020, 2022–2025)

• CineSchool, providing students access to French films (Mme. Lefevre, Mme. Lalonde)

• Prix Albertine, supporting literacy and French-specific grammar instruction (SY 2024–2025)

• The French DLI Leadership Seminar with the French Embassy

• A DLI-specific, week-long French Summer Institute (all expenses covered except airfare) (Mme. Lefevre)

We look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership through Ms. Durand.
