M. Oriola
5th Grade French Teacher
About me
My name is Antoine Oriola, and I was born and raised in France. I was a recent winner (2022) of the U.S. Diversity Visa program and am now a Permanent Resident. I lived in Portland Oregon two years ago, working in a French Immersion Public Charter School with Kindergartners.
After earning my French architectural license in 2018 and becoming a registered architect, I taught Environmental Design at the undergraduate level in France, where I supervised the development of student undergraduate theses and served on their jury panel. Additionally, I assisted in designing eight mainstage shows for a French puppetry company, providing vocational training and skills development under a nationally-accredited framework. I trained young artists to see creative inspiration in objects and materials and to tell stories using movement and “visual vocabulary". I consider myself an “educator-builder-creative” person. My skills are mostly sharing, hand crafting, drawing, and talking. I’m familiar with 4 of the 5 foreign languages taught at ICSAtlanta. I’m glad to be part of the French teacher team at ICSAtlanta for my second year, especially in an IB School, which is very meaningful for me!
