CLASSES
Small classes are taught in French by native and near-native speakers of French who enjoy being with children and provide a fun, warm and supporting environment. They meet for an hour per week. Classes are formed according to children’s ages and level in French.  Children range from 7 to 17 years of age. A minimum of four students is required to constitute a class. Should this minimum not be reached at the first class meeting, we reserve the right to cancel the class.
