Registration is now open for our winter session!

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.

Accelerate your family’s journey to fluency by becoming a French Cultural Center member! For as low as $20, supplement your child’s coursework with the full-immersion experience and enjoy discounts on our cultural events; borrowing privileges at our French-language library, the largest of its kind in New England; unlimited access to our digital newsstand, Culturethèque; and much more!
