Meeting students' Needs

As Hong Kong is a diverse city brimming with life, so are the classes that we offer to children. As with all of our other classes, they are held at appropriate times, such as before or after school, or on Saturdays and Sundays, and in convenient locations like our Institute in Central, Discovery Bay, students’ homes, and at many prestigious schools (read more on our after-school classes held at schools).

General French Courses

These courses are designed for children 7-12 who wish to be able to communicate confidently and effectively in French, to improve their grades at school, and to succeed in their exams.

The main focus is on developing the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

In class, your child will be provided with plenty of opportunities to practise his/her language skills through a wide range of interesting exercises, interactive activities, and role-plays.
