Bonjour !

Parlez-vous Français ?

Everybody has their own good reasons to learn French, but if you're still hesitating, here is some information that you might find useful...

The Alliance Française opened its doors to the Christchurch community in 1959

The centre enrols around 500 students each year, with a maximum of 12 students per class. Our teaching staff is fully qualified and follows up-to-date methods.

Courses are modelled after the Common European Framework of References for Languages and comply with the criteria of the DELF and DALF diplomas. The centre offers a wide range of courses, from beginner to advanced levels for adults, courses for children and teenagers and special courses. These courses are taught with a very enjoyable and interactive approach.

You will benefit from a great choice of resources available in the library, our online library Culturethèque, and free access/discounted rates to our cultural and social events.

Its charming patio and fully-equipped classrooms open doors for a convivial atmosphere where you can relax and make friends. Do not miss our events such as “Les Petits Matins Croissants” with a lovely breakfast, and "Le French Guest" with a different French guest each month.
