General Information for our French Classes

We offer group courses, as well as private lessons both in person and online.  We are part of the global Alliance Française non-profit organization, focused on French language education and culture.  

We have organized our group adult program in 4 sessions of 10 weeks each.  Our winter session starts in December, our spring one in March, our summer one in June and our fall one in September.  Our beginner level (A1) is the most popular  and is divided in four sub levels(A1.1 to A1.4).  In general, it takes several sessions to cover one sub level.  Contact us for help with your placement.  You can also purchase the textbook and see where you would like to start.  Each sub level covers two chapters in the book.
