Alumni & Community Students
In order to support our alumni, we offer a continuing French Program which allows them to keep up with their French in a structured and enjoyable way. Classes take place once a week in the afterschool program and are as follows:
French for the Middle School Grades 6-8
Thursdays, 4:30-6:30pm
Specially designed fro FASRI alumni who wish to continue their French.
Wednesdays, 4-6pm
Come prepare for the French Advanced Placement test while reading French classics! Includes intensive study of 4-5 French texts from the 19th and 20th centuries and the possibility of earning college credit! Ms. Grugnardi is a FASRI teacher with a secondary education background who specializes in the classics (Greek, Latin)
Both programs maintain and reinforce students' language skills through two approaches:
- academic: review of spelling and main points of grammar, written and oral comprehension and expression: how to express and argue a point of view and narrate a story.
- contextual: through the study of documents such as novels, plays, newspaper and magazine articles, excerpts from TV, movies and radio, students learn to understand and analyze the structure of the language and, beyond it, the world around them.
Some After School activities are open to Alumni to enable them to practice their French in a fun way. For details, please check the After School calendar. Alumni are part of the FASRI community and are invited and encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities and cultural events organized by the school.
Please contact call 401 274 3325 or write to afterschool@fasri.org for full details.
