Toddlers (3-4 yo)
-  Introduction to French -

30 min. | on Zoom / in person
Parent's participation mandatory on Zoom

Our toddler classes are designed to prepare children's ears for the sound of the French language and to help them discover and use their first vocabulary words. During 30 minutes, the children discover children's books adapted to their age, listen to nursery rhymes, sing little songs or do crafts on a theme they have worked on...

Young children (5-7 yo)
- beginner, intermediate, advanced - 

45 min. | on Zoom / in person

This class is designed for non-readers or young readers. The lessons are therefore approached through playful activities that encourage oral expression and comprehension as well as the learning of vocabulary words and expressions.


Children (8-10 yo)
- beginner, intermediate, advanced - 

45 min. | on Zoom / in person

Our teaching method is based on the CAP SUR, a method used all over the world in many schools... and Alliances Françaises! CAP SUR is a dynamic French method with lots of creative activities and linguistic tools tailored for kids between 7 and 10 years old, known to have proved its worth with children for whom French is a foreign language! Throughout the pages, students discover the adventures of the Cousteau family as they travel around the world.


Teenagers (11 yo +)
- beginner, intermediate, advanced - 

1 h. | on Zoom / in person

Whether your child is a beginner or already initiated in French, we offer classes for all levels. Our teachers use methods adapted to this age group
such as CAP SUR 3,  Adosphere,  À la Une...
