If setting your child(ren) up for real academic and future life success is important to you, in conjunction with the world-expanding benefits of becoming fluent in multiple languages, AL should be a top consideration.
I would say the parent/guardian community at Académie Lafayette is something that sets it apart, and is perhaps one of the school's greatest assets. From the first day of starting at AL, I felt included and welcomed as a single parent. It boasts many blended and traditional/non-traditional families across all socio-economic levels. I believe the unifying factor to student success is buy-in from families committed to the process, so to speak. The curriculum and 100% foreign language immersion will challenge all students and their families -- to incredible benefit to students/families who are involved (ie, in a position to be involved).

The school has been a good fit for our children. French immersion cannot be compared directly to a traditional elementary school. The kids may struggle with English a little early on, but it is amazing to watch the kids excel in foreign language development. They have had teachers from different countries every year (France, Belgium, and Cameroon to name a few) and get to experience many different views, cultures, and teaching methods. Many of the teachers are considered strict but we have found the teachers have all wanted the kids in their class to excel in all aspects of education, they care about their children, and provide meaningful feedback about the children's growth. Four years and two children into the school and we continue to feel we make a good choice for our children.
I love my school, but they need a new counselors at the new armour campus. They have a few cosmetic issues, like I got cut by the bathroom door at Oak and the sinks at Armour our way to short and way too old and squirt everywhere, some of them don't even work. We don't have a real gym at the Armour campus either but that's okay. Our school lunch is not good it's not mystery slop, but it's not good either. We don't have any clubs really except journalism and a new dance team that's only now just started we also have cheer leading, but yeah it's not much. I just said all the negative things, but besides that there's not much else to complain about. I wish school started later though. The teachers are great and we're starting a new IB progam too so that's nice. We learn a lot French which really helps us to get into the top high schools like Lincoln, Sion, Barstow and Rockhurst. So YAY!
