FLAM: After-School & Saturday French Classes  — Inspired by the French Educational Curriculum

EFB Boston’s after-school and Saturday French classes in Boston are inspired by the French Educational Curriculum. Designed for French-speaking students attending American schools, our program helps children master French oral expression, listening comprehension, and writing — while staying connected to their French heritage. Classes follow the American school year calendar and are divided into levels, each containing 3 to 4 units

Immersive French learning through culture and creativity

By highlighting traditional and contemporary francophone cultures from texts, songs, games, movies, theatre, art, cuisine, tales, and legends, children will gain a true appreciation for the wonderful and diverse cultures of French speakers around the world. Using mediums like singing, poetry, visual art, play, simulation, role playing etc – we want every child to learn while having fun and develop a long-lasting taste for learning.

This class is designed to encourage your child to speak and share their thoughts in French while expanding their vocabulary and introducing writing.

This class promotes and develops oral and written language skills. Your child will develop his or her language by expressing their thoughts, asking questions, and listening to others for comprehension. Conjugation will be introduced. History, geography, and civic lessons will be used to enhance comprehension of more complex French language. During this cycle, we also pay particular attention to spelling and grammar.

Les P’tits Philos (Ages 11-13)

3 hours a week on Saturday morning

This class strengthens your child’s spoken and written French while encouraging independent thinking and thoughtful discussion. Through projects exploring a variety of themes throughout the year, children learn to express and support their ideas, ask meaningful questions, and consider different perspectives. Particular attention is given to conjugation, spelling, and grammar, helping children communicate with greater clarity, accuracy, and confidence.
