Placement Test: If your child is new to the Center and between the ages of 10 and 16, please have them take our Placement Test for Kids & Teens to ensure they enroll in the right course level.Complete beginners with no previous French experience do not need to take this test. Class Materials: Parents/Guardians are responsible for purchasing required textbooks, workbooks and supplies. Please refrain from purchasing any materials until your child's teacher confirms that they are placed at the right level following the first class; book information will be communicated to you at that point.
