Canterbury School would like to congratulate our students for a phenomenal performance in The National French Contest, Le Grand Concours. This annual competition is sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. Students of French in grades 1-12, in all 50 states and abroad, take a written test and compete against students with similar educational backgrounds for prizes.
The scoring is as follows:
