“Summer in French” highlights under the Boston sun
3-4 years old
Give your child an introduction to French or the chance to strengthen their skills while building a foundation for lifelong learning. Our attentive teachers provide a warm, caring environment with hands-on and language-rich activities along with daily park time. A full-day option includes a dedicated nap time to keep children happy and well-rested.
5-6 years old
Boost your child’s French skills through fun, hands-on activities like games, songs, and weekly creative projects. Experienced teachers guide engaging, age-appropriate challenges, with daily park time for play and social connection.
7-9 years old
Develop your child’s French communication skills through role-plays, collaborative projects, and weekly themed activities. Light writing and reading in French are introduced, alongside games, songs, and creative challenges that make learning fun and meaningful.
Teens 12-15 years old
For teens with some French, our Discovery Workshops and Back-to-School refresher keep language skills active over the summer through hands-on projects, real-world communication and collaborative activities, while supporting personal growth.
Have a Question?
Check our Frequently Asked Questions section to see if we’ve already answered your question.
Does my child (3-9 years old) need previous French exposure?
No, previous exposure is not required, though it can help ease their transition. Teachers provide plenty of opportunities to learn new vocabulary and practice language skills.
What level is required for teens?
Teens must have at least an A1+ level in French to join the program. We offer a free placement test to confirm their level, which must be completed a month before their program starts.
What are the steps for registration?
You can register your child online or call us to register. Any applicable discounts can only be applied over the phone; otherwise, they will be credited to your French Library account if requested by the discount deadline. A welcome packet will be sent and must be completed before the program starts – children cannot be admitted without it.
What do I do if I know my child will miss a day or part of the day?
While we’re unable to offer make-ups, we’d appreciate it if you could notify us in advance by email or phone.
Are there any requirements for toddlers?
Yes, toddlers must be potty trained and accustomed to attending a school or daycare program.
