“Working in financial services mostly with French individuals and corporations, our management decided to give employees an opportunity to learn French. From my experience, speaking even a few words of French helps to break the ice during conference calls, in-person meetings and client dinners. Taking French lessons proved to be a fun team building activity and enlarged our corporate culture. The teachers are knowledgeable and fun.”
“Amazing can’t wait for next year!”
“Now in our second year at L’Alliance Preschool, we can say without a doubt that our daughter has received an education that is not only rigorous, but truly nurturing and enriching. Émilie has been surrounded by teachers and administrators who are caring and supportive, thoughtfully providing expert guidance every step of the way. Completely fluent in French, Émilie is genuinely curious about the world that surrounds her; L’Alliance New York’s dedication to French language and total immersion is a gift she will have the rest of her life.”
“Outstanding performance by a magnificent actress. What a special treat to sit in a smaller theater and witness such a unique performance.”
