Face-to-Face (FTF): Classes will meet in an AFMSP classroom and follow health and safety guidelines. This option allows students the most successful learning environment and a return to our building at 227 Colfax Ave N.
A hybrid option is available for all Face-to-Face classes using a 360º camera and high quality microphone. Students who live a great distance or who are traveling can periodically connect to in-person classes via Zoom upon request. This offers ultimate flexibility to those needing to tune in à distance from time-to-time.
Virtual classes (V): These classes will be offered exclusively online via Zoom, students and instructors can connect wherever they may be! Due to the technology costs associated, virtual classes have an additional $25 fee for 5-week and $50 fee for 10-week classes.
If you’ve studied French in the past (no matter how long ago it may have been) or lived in a French-speaking community, please complete a placement test prior to registration in an AFMSP class. The Alliance Française staff will contact you for a conversational interview if necessary, and will help to determine what class will be the best fit for you. Please note that our office will be closed from December 24 through January 2. Our team will contact you about your test starting on January 3. Bonnes fêtes!
