Story

The French Academy was founded by two passionate and experienced native teachers who wanted to provide the highest caliber of French Language instruction. They realized that a school was needed in the DC metro area to answer the specific needs of different individuals: adults seeking a tailor-made course, families with children of different ages and bilingual families who are looking for a qualitative French education, and also professionals and businesses, for whom flexibility, individualized curriculum and specific goals are important. In 2015 the French Academy expanded to Baltimore.

We are a small team of about 8 teachers in DC and 3 in Baltimore, striving to provide you a personalized service. We are offering French group classes for adults or children, or flexible one-on-one lessons in person or on Skype.
