Co-Founder of the school

Born in the 3-border country, in the Frankish Lorraine opposite Schengen, languages have played in major role in Fred’s life: between the « Lothringer Platt » spoken by his paternal grand-parents, the Luxembourger and German neighbours and a French education, this immersion made him quickly learn and love languages, their history, culture and diversity.
