High Schoolers Win Top Honors at 2023 California Poetry Contest

Silicon Valley International School's high school French language acquisition classes (students who are not in the primary French immersion program) participated in the 2023 California Poetry Contest, otherwise known as the "Concours de Poésie."

In class, students analyzed, discussed, and memorized famous poems from the French-speaking world, according to their respective level.
