I'll give you five stars because i'm not about to hurt your business but I am really sick and tired of your employee's parking in spots that are right next to and in front of LEtoile so that it's easier for them but people that live here can't park anywhe. We have an apartment complex building right here.With dozens upon dozens of people that would love to be able to park in front of their home. Or remove your ridiculously unenforced no parking signs. I watched people violate that thing every single day and I never see anybody get tickets from my window. I watch. Every job i've ever worked at always tells the employee that they cannot take up customer parking. Yet. Here we are. Faire mieux....Faire Mieux!!

The best years of my life were at this school! I would highly recommend! Super small community where everyone is like family. Also amazing to have a fluency in another language that I still use as a high school student!

Our daughter has been attending L’Etoile for five years, and we couldn’t have imagined a better school for her. From the beginning, the leadership team was forward thinking and planned for the future. The staff and her teachers have been wonderful and have created a safe and warm environment for her to learn. She looks forward to going to school every day because of her teachers and the positive experience. We have been very pleased over the years with her French and were delighted when our French relatives commented how well she spoke the language two years ago. L’Etoile combines a strong immersion academic program with innovative experiential learning. This year, our daughter had a biking unit where they biked around in Portland, learned about bike safety and how fix common problems, combined it with art (drawing the Portland landscape), and learned geometry (wheels, spokes, and angles). The before and after school programs are also terrific, giving kids the option of getting help with homework, preparing for the DELF exam (French proficiency diploma), or exploring new activities. L’Etoile is a true gem!
