Our Spring Break Camp Team


Iris Jongejean Camp Instructor

Hello, my name is Iris, but my students call me Madame Iris!
I am American, but I was born in the Netherlands and lived in France in the Alps. In 2000, I returned to the Netherlands where I studied to become a French teacher. I began teaching French there at the high school Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum. In 2008, we moved to the United States. I taught in private high schools, and when we lived in South Korea, I taught English to children ages 5–12.

Since 2024, I have been teaching French here at the Alliance Française. During the week, I also teach French at Clements High School in Sugar Land, and in the evenings I teach online (on Zoom) for the Alliance Française. As you can see, I am truly passionate about teaching!

A few more things about me: I am married to Robert, and we have two daughters. We live in Clear Lake, right by the water. On weekends, we enjoy sailing on Galveston Bay. I also love reading and cooking.

I am very excited to begin classes this year and to get to know you—or to see you again in my classroom!
See you soon!

Madame Iris
