At MFIS, French is our Focus
Milwaukee French Immersion (MFIS) is a high-achieving PUBLIC school. MFIS students in grades K4 through 5th* are taught in an environment where French is the primary language of instruction as they learn according to Wisconsin DPI Common Core standards.
5th grade students participate in a sleepaway camp experience at Lac Du Bois where they will implement their French skills and learn about the francophone world in a full immersion setting.
Milwaukee French Immersion is recognized by the French Consulate in Chicago as a LabelFrancEducation school. Our school has also been honored as a School of Distinction for successfully implementing PBIS, a program that reinforces positive behavior choices.
MFIS offers wrap-around before and after-school camp, which provides students with extended learning and activity opportunities.
