UMEI Christian High School is excited to announce its new Enriched French program. This program adds on to UMEI’s outstanding academic program and existing Enriched programs in Robotics and The Arts.  The Enriched French program will feature authentic, and action-oriented French learning far beyond classroom instruction.  Because of the small class sizes and safe, supportive learning environment, UMEI’s qualified staff can promote more cross-curricular learning with French, and incorporate it into existing programs like chapel.
