Falcons Earn Certification from the Paris Chamber of Commerce
Seniors Blake Dickey and Andrew Lobo received the Honors Diplôme de français professionnel B1 after successfully passing the certification exam administered through FWCD’s Business French course, taught by Andréanne Annis. The diploma certifies their ability to communicate effectively in French (orally and in writing), in a variety of professional settings. FWCD is the first JK-12 school in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to have certified Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française (DELF) examiners.
Awarded by the Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Honors Diplôme de français professionnel B1 is an internationally recognized credential that verifies proficiency in French for professional communication. The certification allows Dickey and Lobo to demonstrate their advanced knowledge of the French language when applying for future internships or employment in France.
During the 2023-24 academic year, French Teachers Annis (Upper School), Névine Watkins (Lower School) and Rob Napier (Middle School) completed training to become Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue Française (DELF) examiners. This training enabled the School to become an official DELF testing center. FWCD is the first JK-12 school in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to earn this distinction.
