Why choose French for your children?
It has been proved that young brains learn easily and faster. Offer your child the opportunity to widen his/her horizons from an early age!
After 120 hours of a playful, interactive but rigorous French initiation course, your child will be able to appear for the DELF PRIM (6 -11 years old) or the DELF JUNIOR (12-17 years old) exams, specially designed for them to attest their control over the language. This diploma is awarded by the French Ministry of Education.
France is the first country to sign a mutual recognition agreement with India. Over 500 French scholarships are available to Indian students. Moreover, France, with its professionally oriented programs, that combines theory and practice, is the world’s fourth-largest destination for international students.

- Expert Instructors: Learn from experienced and certified French language educators.
- Interactive Learning: Engage in dynamic and fun-filled classes tailored for children and adolescents.

At Alliance française du Bengale, the child is at the centre of the learning process.
