We offer courses for toddlers through teenagers at both non-native speaker and bilingual levels. Use the tool below to find current offerings appropriate for your child’s age.

For children who are learning French as a foreign language, our curriculum focuses on a fun, educational and age-appropriate environment through cultural and linguistic immersion. We follow the “Smart Steps To French” program, which is used by many branches of US Alliance Française and allows a progression of learning objectives adapted to the age and level of the children. Through games, songs, and stories, but also reading and writing methods, children discover the pleasure of speaking, understanding, writing and reading a new language.

Our curriculum for children with native or near-native competency in French is based on French literature, songs, games, and crafts that will enrich students’ vocabulary and expand their conversation skills. For older children, a reading and writing approach, as well as focus on grammar and conjugation, is also part of the curriculum.
