Our MissionThe mission of Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul, an independent chapter of a worldwide organization, is to serve our community by promoting the use and appreciation of French language and cultures through language classes, cultural programs, social events and informational resources.

Why Alliance Française?• We’re more than just a school; we are the French

cultural center serving the Twin Cities. Enjoy a simultaneous cultural and linguistic education. Take advantage of our resources including French films, books and magazines, and events for all tastes!

• Our students become members of a community of French–speakers and Francophiles. Join us today!

• Our instructors come from France and other French–speaking countries around the world, trained in teaching French as a Foreign Language.

• Founded in Paris in 1883, Alliance Française is known around the world for its high–quality lan-guage programs.

• We believe immersion is the best means of learning French and we owe our success to that philosophy. From the moment you walk through the door, nous parlons français!
