French Programs for Children and Teenagers:
A leader in teaching French to adults, the Alliance Française applies the same expertise to children’s classes. Leading Alliance Française chapters in the United States teamed up with French experts to design French curricula and activities specifically catered to the needs and interests of little—and not so little—ones.

Whereas most programs rely on repetitive workshops with limited material, the Alliance Française offers children the possibility of evolving through 3 levels (complete beginners to advanced) for each of 4 age groups.

Unlimited options are yours to discover, so you can shape your child’s experience with the help of true specialists. Striking balance between fun and serious, the extensive program offers rigorous academic objectives while entertaining children with games, activities, and what the Alliance Française is probably the most famous for… cultural immersion.
