Emmanuelle Chaput came to the French International School of Philadelphia in 2015 and taught first grade French for two years before moving to third grade. From the western area of France in Saint-Gilles-Croix de Vie, Nantes and Bordeaux regions, Ms. Chaput has traveled to the Philippines, residing in Manila, London and Portsmouth in the United Kingdom.

Ms. Chaput studied international business at the Bordeaux Business School in France and at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. She earned a master’s degree in social sciences and humanitarian affairs from the Institut Catholique de Paris and, later, earned her teaching certificate from the Institut Universitaire de Formation des Maîtres (a French teaching academy for primary and secondary education) in Cergy-Pontoise, France. She finds working within a multicultural environment to be very stimulating.

Her experiences working with the street children in Manila, Philippines in part inspired her to become a teacher, and Ms. Chaput enjoys being part of a multicultural environment. She has worked in several schools in France, including Robert Surcouf in Carrières-sous-Poissy, Victor Hugo in Chatou, and the Jacques Prévert preschool in Argenteuil. Previously, she worked for the Virlanie Foundation in Manila as a volunteer teacher at the Drop-In-Center, and at Idéal Connaissances in Le Kremlin-Bîcetre, France and Spirit Advertising in London as a marketing assistant.

When asked why she is passionate about bilingual education, Ms. Chaput said, “I believe a bilingual education is a real opportunity to be open-minded about the world and provides a solid understanding of different cultures.”
