GLOBE Academy has been awarded with the LabelFrancÉducation granted by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The accreditation recognizes and rewards public or private schools that offer students enhanced instruction in the French language while also teaching other subjects in French. Schools must meet high-leveled criteria to be eligible to participate in the complex application. GLOBE is one of only three schools in Georgia to receive this accreditation which opens the door to invaluable resources to enrich and strengthen the French program.
