Saturday French Classes

Skip to:

Start your weekend in French!

Spend Saturday mornings discovering French language and culture at the Lycée Français de New York through music, storytime, and art. Our programs are designed for families—no prior knowledge of French required.

What to Expect

  • A fun way to learn French together through activities and friends
  • Make new friends (children and adults included!) and discover the Lycée community
  • Small groups: maximum 10 family pairs per class (one adult must accompany each child)
  • All levels welcome—no French required

By learning French in a playful and engaging environment with family, children build their language skills, boost their confidence, and find a natural way to connect with the grown-ups in their life in French.
