The Alliance Française of Dallas provides group classes for both French speaking and French learning students.

All of our classes are taught by native French instructors, who will provide your children with an authentic French immersive experience. Knowledgeable educators foster learning in a natural way, through visual, kinesthetic and auditory experiences. 

Youth classes are organized by semester through school year. Our summer program runs in June and July.
