Every summer, we welcome all children—both students of The École and neighborhood friends to take part in our Summer Camp. There is no minimum level of French or English required to take part!
- Our Maternelle Summer Camp is for students attending Nursery, Pre-K, or Kindergarten (or equivalent grade levels) during the 2024-2025 school year
- Our Elementary Summer Camp is for students attending 1st to 5th Grade (or equivalent grade levels) during the 2024-2025 school year
The program runs from Monday, June 23, to Friday, July 11 (no camp on Friday, July 4). You can register per week, per day, or half-day.
Our summer camp has been designed to provide children with a bilingual experience similar to The École’s regular school program—but with lots of additional summer fun. At our Flatiron District campus and the surrounding Madison Square Park, campers learn and practice both French and English and discover the two cultures through daily art, music, theater, sports, and many other workshops and activities!
Our summer camp staff is composed entirely of The École’s Maternelle, Elementary, and After-School program teachers. All are native speakers in French or English and have extensive experience working with language learners of all levels. They ensure campers have the opportunity to improve their French and English language skills, at their own pace and in relaxed and enriching settings.

Daily Schedule
Maternelle: Nursery to Kindergarten
Our Summer Camp for students attending Nursery, Pre-K, or Kindergarten (or equivalent grade level) during the 2024-2025 school year is held at the Maternelle Building. The days begin at 8:30 a.m. with a morning welcome followed by the first activity, a snack, and a second activity. Then it’s time for lunch, followed by an outdoor recess (at Madison Square Park or on our rooftop, weather permitting), quiet games, and, for our youngest campers, nap time. The afternoon workshop activities, just like those held in the morning, are run in French or English. A snack is provided in the afternoon. Parents can pick their children up between 4:15 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Please note that lunch will not be provided by the camp. Parents are required to pack lunch for their child(ren) and make sure the children have it with them at morning drop-off. Please do not pack any food containing peanut products, as The École is a peanut-free environment.
Children must be fully potty trained to attend our summer camp.
