Who can join us?

Our lessons are aimed at children aged 3 to 18 who live in families where children have regular and frequent exposure to French and therefore have a more than basic proficiency in the language. Given that classes are conducted entirely in French, children who do not have that level of exposure to French would find the classes very difficult to follow.  The school is open to all families where parents wish to improve the fluency and confidence of their children in French as their second mother tongue. The charity also runs activities for anyone who is interested in the issues of bilingualism and multilingualism. These events are open to all.
