Report from Uptown Flavor

We first heard about the prospect of a French bilingual school coming to Harlem from our people over at Liveuptown last year when a parent petition was being circulated to submit the charter to the state. All of the bureaucratic hurdles have been jumped and the school will be opening in September.

 

Initially the school will serve students in grades K-2, eventually expanding to serve high school students. According to the school's website, "In year one, we will admit 50 children in kindergarten, 50 children in 1st grade and 50 children in 2nd grade (total of 150 students). Thus, 50 spaces will be provided for children in each grade. If more than 50 students apply for each grade, the lottery will be conducted to assign seats.
