Group Classes
The Alliance Française offers classes for children ages 1-18.
The school year is divided in 3 sessions: Fall, Winter and Spring. Classes meet once a week. See Kids & Teens session dates for more information.
In Summer we offer a different program with: Saturday classes for little ones (1 - 5); Summer Camps for Children ages 5-11; Reviews or Preps for Teenagers.
Day Camps
In the school year we also have Day Camps when schools are closed (holidays, teachers training).
Check our website regularly for day camp dates!
Spring/summer/FALL Camps
The Alliance Française offers one-week camps in Spring, Summer and Fall (Toussaint) for children ages 5-11.
All levels and Francophones are welcome.
Every week, we offer a new topic with hands-on activities and a specific field trip. Children often set up a show or a short presentation for their parents at the end of the week.
Après l'école (After School)
The purpose of the class is to foster and develop French language in a relaxed atmosphere using music, songs, games and activities. The classes are conducted entirely in the target language.
Field Trips
Make the Alliance Française part of your teaching strategy!
The Alliance is an ideal place to plan your educational excursions and welcomes school groups of all ages for cultural and educational field trips. Take your students to France without leaving Washington, DC and discover French culture through interactive activities led by our AF teachers… en français, bien sûr!

The Little Hall of Fame & Graduation Party
On June 14th, 2025 was the 1st Edition of The Little Hall of Fame & Graduation Party. Over 30 families and 150 participants, the Youth Programs will be making it a yearly celebration! If you missed all the fun, don't worry, re-live it vicarously with this video!
What is it?
We are very excited to celebrate the 2nd edition of The Little Hall of Fame – an annual tradition that recognizes the unique talents, dedication, and growth of our young learners. It is a way to celebrate the journey of children and acknowledge the commitment that makes their achievements shine.
How to Be Considered
To be eligible, students must attend all three Youth Programs sessions – Fall, Winter, and Spring. This commitment across all seasons ensures that every nominee has been fully involved, giving each child the chance to demonstrate their growth over the course of the year.
The Nomination & Selection Process
Once attendance is confirmed, each teacher will nominate students they feel have excelled in the different award categories.
A jury of three members will review the nominations closely. Each teacher will have the opportunity to present and defend their nominees, giving the jury insight into each student’s journey and accomplishments. The jury will then make their final decisions.
The Ceremony
There will be a reward ceremony on June 13 where each selected child will be celebrated for their achievements. Each awardees will receive a prize (details to come)
We look forward to honoring the incredible dedication of our young learners and celebrating each child’s journey. Stay tuned for more details, and let’s make this year unforgettable for our Little Hall of Fame stars!
