Youth French Classes

Welcome to our French learning center! 

We are delighted that you chose the Alliance Française de Seattle for your learning journey! AFSeattle offers a wide range of French courses for toddlers, kids, youth, and teens (from 1.5 to 17 years old!). Our classes either take place online or on-site at our Wallingford location, in the heart of Seattle.

Each youth class starts in September and takes place over three (3) terms: Fall, Winter, and Spring. If you would like to join a class during the school year please contact info@afseattle.org.

French as a Foreign Language

Like all Alliances Françaises, we offer French as a foreign language course programs (in French ‘FLE’ for ‘Français Langue Etrangère’) and not as a native/second language course programs (in French ‘FLAM’ for ‘Français LAngue Maternelle’). This means that our youth students are non-francophones; they do not speak French at home or have not been following an immersion program.
