New to French? Start speaking French from day one with the French A1.1 class for complete beginners and experience an immersive introduction to all things French!

Using authentic resources and real world tasks, this course will introduce you to the structure and use of the French language in everyday life. You’ll learn to understand and use familiar, commonplace expressions and very basic phrases in order to speak with others at a beginner’s level. Through interactive and multimedia activities, texts, and course books, you will learn how to introduce yourself and others, how to excuse yourself, how to ask basic questions, how to talk about your family and day to day life, and how to read simple signs. Culturally, you will learn about French customs, certain French quirks and personality traits, and you’ll discover the French lifestyle as it exists around the world!

Beginner A1 level consists of 4 sub-levels: Level A1.1, Level A1.2, Level A1.3, and Level A1.4.

Level A1.1 is the first sub-level of the Beginner A1 level.

Level A1.1 is further split into Part 1 and Part 2 for the leisurely track.

Refund Policy

To withdraw from a class, please send a written request at least 4 business days prior to the first day of class. You may submit a written request by email to [email protected]

When you wish to withdraw from a class you have two options:

  • A refund (less an $85 cancellation fee) issued to the original form of payment. If the request is made within 2 business days of registration, a full tuition refund will be given.
    • 5-week classes that meet 2 hours or fewer per week will be subject to a $45 cancellation fee.
    • 1-day camps will be subject to a cancellation fee of 30% of the camp tuition with refund issued to original form of payment provided the request to withdraw is submitted by the Friday before the week of camp; else only tuition credit will be issued.
  • A credit (valid for 1 year) issued to your account that can be used for another class, private lessons, or books. The cancellation fee is waived for this option.
After the first three hours or one week of class (whichever occurs first), only credit will be issued following a request for withdrawal. The cost for the number of classes that have occurred will be deducted from the total and a pro-rated tuition credit will be issued to the student’s account, valid for one year.

No refunds or credits are offered for books, specialty exams, or workshops. Refunds are not offered for private lessons, but you may reschedule your class.

Summer classes will be subject to the same refund policies as classes during the year with the following exceptions:

  • Summer Fun in French Camps for Ages 1-17:
    • No refunds will be issued after June 15.
    • Before June 15, a withdrawal fee ($175 for full day camps, $85 for half-day camps) will be deducted from the refund amount.
    • After June 15, you may withdraw any time before the start of the session for a full credit.
    • No withdrawals are accepted after the start of a program.
    • There are no allowances for absences, early withdrawals, or late starts. There is no pro-rating of fees.
Please allow up to two weeks for refunds or credits to be issued.

The school reserves the right to cancel classes and workshops, adjust curricula, and change teachers if necessary without advanced notice.
