This program is designed for children who do not speak French at home.
The objective is to help students communicate effectively in French while also introducing them to French culture in a dynamic and interactive classroom setting. To standardize our curriculum, we have selected the most effective methods based on the students’ level and age. Our approach aligns with the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. However, our teachers may also incorporate additional textbooks based on the students’ individual backgrounds.
The classes cover essential French linguistics, syntax, and phonetics, with a focus on vocabulary and conversational French. Students begin reading and writing words and sentences starting at the Les Moyens Primaires level.
Programs customized for every level
