French Enrichment Classes
Offered at each of our campuses, our afterschool programs extend the day with purpose and joy for children ages 4–6. These classes are grounded in our child-centered, bilingual approach and designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection—en français. While the atmosphere is playful and warm, the language immersion is intentional: thoughtfully structured to support both new and fluent French speakers in building vocabulary, confidence, and cultural fluency through meaningful, hands-on experiences. Every class is led by educators and artists who understand children and know how to meet them where they are.
Pre-K–1st Grade Classes
The fall semester of our French afterschool program runs from September 14 to December 18, 2026. Enrichment classes are held on school days between 3:15–4:15pm at our Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, and Gowanus locations.

French Afterschool Immersion Program for K–2nd Graders
Looking For More Than Enrichment?
We are excited to share that we are developing a new French immersion program for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd-grade students. Designed for families seeking to maintain and strengthen their child’s French language skills beyond preschool, this program will support continued bilingual development while following the progression and expectations of the French National Curriculum.
More information about curriculum, scheduling, and enrollment will be available soon. We look forward to sharing this next chapter with our community.
Lessons by Appointment
Private Instrument Lessons with Musication
The Brooklyn-based Musication offers personalized private, one-on-one lessons—en français—on both piano/keyboard and guitar/ukulele for the young beginner to the advancing student who’s been playing for a while. Their primary goal in teaching is to not only help build music skills on the instrument but also to inspire the fun, creativity, and joy that comes with learning to play an instrument.
More information and registration coming soon.
Private Tutoring by Smith Street Workshop
We provide French tutoring and academic support for students from Pre-K through high school. The most important aspect of our teaching is to build confidence and to engender a sense of optimism and curiosity in our students when faced with a complex new concept. We look forward to helping your child rediscover the joy of learning and a sense of wonder when faced with intellectual challenges.
