Jean-Noel Kouame

I am a native French speaker (growing up in the Ivory Coast and France) and was immersed in the french school system throughout high school. I moved to Minnesota almost 30 years ago and had a chance to pursue higher education (BA at Augsburg College Minneapolis and MBA from the University of MN) and work in the field of finance and IT (currently at the University of MN). Together with the French language, the Ivorian and French cultures have remained fully anchored in my family here. My two sons have benefited from formal education in French at local french schools and Alliance française around the Twin Cities. This is a benefit that my sons have and through Notre Ecole, other kids will be able to have the same benefits.
