Hello Jerry,
I don't know of any french schools like what you are describing. Alternatives... If they are high school students and of great standing you can speak with the university about enrolling in university level french courses. Also their are french professors that give private lessons...

Sideline: I am always amazed at the number of people of French descent who speak no French! Their parents/grandparents decided that they would be Americans and made sure they spoke English, but maybe went a bit too far!

I would say LOTS of Spanish speakers- from PR and the Dominican Republic. Also lots of French Creole/Patois speakers from Dominica and St. Lucia...
