Electives
- Student Council elections are next week! We love all the colorful campaign posters in our hallways.
- Lycee’s middle and high school students have a rigorous academic schedule, and with the introduction of the weekly elective class, they are also getting the opportunity to dabble and gain exposure to topics outside of their academic classes. Course topics may change throughout the year, but here are some of the interesting electives students are now experiencing: archery, German, mock-trial, sign-language, photography, satire in film, event planning, and more!
- Electives are non-credit bearing and students do not have formal assignments. Some current elective topics were selected by the teachers and some by the students with the goal being to expose and explore new topics of interest.
LFNO High School Open House is November 12th at 5:30 pm - mark your calendar!

EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT SERVICES
|
|
WELCOME!
I am was born and raised in Washington DC. I received both my bachelors and my masters degrees from American University. I have been teaching for 5 years and in that time I have taught both French and Spanish immersion. The most exciting place that I have had the opportunity to teach is in Haiti in the cities of Port-Au-Prince and Jacmel. I moved to New Orleans three months ago and I have fallen in love with the uniqueness of the city. I have specifically chose to teach at Lycee Francais de la Nouvelle Orléans because I am myself a former French immersion student. I know first hand how impactful a French education is. In my free time you can find me lounging on whatever beach is closest.
