Sault! Take French beyond the book and explore our options for elementary, middle, and high school. Starting with elementary school, Vista partnered with CLE International to offer Clementine for K–1, and Trompette for Grades 2–4. For middle and high school French, Vista has two options—Chemins and D’accord!—which allows you to pick the pace and approach. For AP® and beyond we offer our best-selling AP® program, Thèmes and the AP® Worktext, as well as intermediate- level programs Perspectives and Face-à-face.
