Oui Learn French Also

Adult French Learning Program

We are happy to announce that the fifth session is now live!

All About Our Program

For the third year, we are pleased to offer Oui Learn French Also, our French language program designed specifically for adults.

Created in response to the growing interest within our school community, this program provides a welcoming and engaging environment for adults to learn or strengthen their French.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, our classes offer a structured yet flexible learning experience. Taught by Alice Bonhomme, an experienced French instructor who has extensive experience teaching adults, each session is designed to help participants build confidence and develop practical language skills for both personal and professional enrichment.

Each session includes nine French classes. At the conclusion of the session, participants are invited to enjoy Oui Coffee, a complimentary gathering where we celebrate the accomplishments of the class and practice conversational French in a relaxed setting.

Oui Learn French Also is held separately from our regular school-day classes on campus and is open to current parents, as well as extended family members, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives.
