Our courses are focused on a communicative approach with active participation in classes. Our groups are small (6 to 12
students), which is perfect for interaction!
Our teaching philosophy is in line with the CEFRL (Common European Framework of reference for Languages), the premier
international standard
adopted by the best language schools around the world. What's more? The Alliance Française is the only language school worldwide accredited
by the French government.
All our teachers are experienced and qualified! They know how to create a friendly atmosphere where learning French
is efficient and fun!
We offer a complete immersive French experience: students have opportunities to practice French outside of the classroom
through our many cultural & social events!
Our media-library offers more than 8,000 resources to complement your learning experience, including resources specifically designed
for French language learners!
