About our Collective French Classes

Class Levels

Classes are structured into one of five levels:

  • A1 (Beginner),
  • A2 (Elementary),
  • B1 (Intermediate),
  • B2 (Upper intermediate),
  • C1 (Advanced),
  • C2 (Expert).

These levels correspond to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), an international standard for describing language proficiency. 

Tuition & Enrollment

Adult classes are arranged in 10-week terms. Classes meet once a week for two hours and cost $350 ($17.50 per hour of instruction).

Take advantage of our early bird registration period. To ensure you don't miss out on the early bird registration period, subscribe to our newsletter.

We have a total of four terms in a calendar year. Classes are offered mostly in the evening from 6:00 to 8:00pm, sometime on Saturday mornings.

Membership & Textbook

In addition to tuition, an annual membership is required.

Memberships are $50 for an individual of over 25 years of age or $70 for a family level (up to 4 individuals).
The youth level membership (under 25 years of age) is only $25.

You will need a textbook and a workbook.
You can then refer to the Textbook Guide for the ISBN and links to purchase the book.

School Calendar

Classes are offered throughout the year in 4 terms, each consisting of 10 sessions.
