Through a variety of themes, kids will learn to understand and use basic vocabulary and sentences, as well as to follow simple instructions. Children are encouraged to interact with French words and memorized phrases during the class through numerous activities including stories, mini-projects, songs and educational games.

    It’s immersive. It’s well run. The teachers are qualified and competent. It’s a relaxed atmosphere. I’m a big fan.

    The teachers are very caring and provide a good balance of learning and fun…

    As a French mom, it was really important to me that my son learn French and get immersed in French culture. After just a year at L’Alliance New York, it was amazing to see him transition from being merely fluent to truly bilingual. He started to answer my questions in French instead of English and would start singing French songs on his own, bringing so much joy and pride into our home. Seeing him naturally connect with our French heritage has made me incredibly happy. I’m so thankful for the teachers at L’Alliance New York who’ve gone above and beyond in nurturing my son’s love for our language and culture.

    The teachers are spectacular; we are impressed with the vocabulary learned, culture, songs, and books. The art projects are beautiful, creative, and original. The school is very diverse, including children from all backgrounds.

    We have been blown away by the caring nature of the staff and educators, the quality and diversity of the educational opportunities they afford the children, the incredible art program, and the loving francophone community we have been welcomed into.

    He looks forward going to class every week.

    I wouldn't change anything. I'm very happy and my son enjoys his class.

    My child enjoys repeating French words during playtime and dance time. I think Ms. Cheremisova does a great job interacting with the children and teaching them vocabulary words that are meaningful for them at their age. I wouldn’t change anything. I’m very happy and my son enjoys his class.

    She absolutely loves her teacher and how she makes each class interesting and entertaining!
