Are you interested in taking French as a 6th grader? 

For the 2025-26 school year there is an interest survey that you may have completed. 

If you mentioned Introduction to French as an interest and enough other 5th graders did too, there may be a class offered.

Look for it on your MVMS course request which you will complete soon.

If you have questions about the program, I am more than happy to communicate with you!  Please contact me at kosmer@mvschools.org

My name is Kathryn Osmer and I am happy to be teaching at MVMS this year.  I have been teaching French to students since 1993!  Yes, my interest in French started as a young person and I began to teach it at a summer program in Leysin, Switzerland when I was in college.  My experiences living in France and teaching a few summers in Switzerland have widened my breadth of cultural knowledge and given me an enduring appreciation for the French speakers in our world!  The courses at MVMS reflect a wide variety of language and cultural learning, including conversations, skits, cooking, reading articles and novelas and singing!  We share the joy of celebrating holidays.  And we learn that 40% of English actually comes from French.  This makes reading easier for English speakers, but we do work a lot on the different pronunciation of "la belle langue" the beautiful language.  Join us on an epic journey into worlds that you may not have experienced yet...
