Ecole Française de Cincinnati Mission:
L’Ecole Francaise Cincinnati is an Ohio registered non-profit sponsored by the French government.
Our purpose is to provide language instruction and cultural activities in French for bilingual children from age
5 to age 16. The program is aimed at children who have a French speaking parent and attend American schools.
Our goals are:
1. To develop children’s oral expression and vocabulary in French.
2. To develop and improve children’s reading and writing skills in French.
3. To introduce children to French culture.
4. To develop friendships between children and families involved in the school.
Our classes prepare the children to the DELF (diplôme d’études en langue Française) which is the only French
language test recognized in Europe for children who are not being educated in French.
Our classes also prepare the children to pass AP French in High school without needing to attend additional
‘French as foreign language’ classes.
