The French Immersion School of Washington operates a bilingual program for students from age 2.5 through fifth grade in Bellevue, Washington. Instruction is conducted largely in French for about 75% of the day and in English for the remaining 25%, with an emphasis on applying traditional skills to real-life situations to develop critical thinking, initiative, and creativity. The curriculum is organized into three cycles, each targeting developmental objectives and accommodating diverse abilities while fostering autonomy, resilience, and openness to other cultures.

The school serves families seeking preschool through elementary education in a bilingual setting on the Eastside of the Seattle region, and it operates as a small- to mid-sized institution. It notes research suggesting bilingual education can support cognitive development, including areas such as abstraction, problem solving, and mathematical thinking. More information is available through its online resource at fisw.org.
