Story & Mission

Built on experience. Guided by passion.

The French Learning Academy is a French language school in Paris founded by experienced FLE professionals who have spent years teaching, leading teams, and managing language centers in Paris.

With time, one conviction emerged: learning a language only makes sense when it connects solid structure with genuine care.

FLA was created in that spirit — a small, independent school that values quality over size and people over systems.

Here, progress is steady and personal. Each learner finds the support, attention, and guidance needed to grow with confidence.

Our mission is simple: to make learning French accessible, human, and meaningful — an experience that helps every student feel supported and at home in Paris.

Why We Started FLA

"We wanted to create a place that reflects what we’ve always believed about education — that learning a language is, above all, a human journey.

FLA was born from experience and conviction: that real progress begins where trust and care come first."

Our Method

Learn with Rhythm and Structure

At FLA, learning French follows a clear rhythm: one 9-week session equals one level of progress.

Each stage blends structure, practice, and confidence-building, helping you move forward naturally, step by step.

Every student begins with 15 hours per week of dynamic lessons and targeted workshops: grammar, writing, conversation, or pronunciation — adapted to each group’s level.

Our teachers guide you with personal support and gradual DELF preparation integrated into everyday learning.

From A1 to B2, your French grows session after session with clear goals, steady progress, and results you can feel.

Fluency isn’t a dream, it’s a destination.

Tools for Your Progress

Learning French is easier when you have a clear path to follow.

At FLA, each level uses a carefully chosen textbook and workbook — selected for their clarity, structure, and real-life content.

These materials help you stay organized, track progress, and prepare smoothly for the next level.

We recommend that students bring their own copy (paper or digital). Books are easy to find online or in local stores.

Teachers then enrich the lessons with authentic materials — articles, videos, songs — to keep learning dynamic and connected to real life.

This mix of structure and creativity ensures steady progress and a natural transition from one level to the next.

A Collective Commitment

Shared values that guide our work and shape every learner’s experience.
Innovate Constantly

We keep learning too. FLA evolves through fresh ideas, new tools, and creative methods that make French learning dynamic, engaging, and relevant.

Aim for Recognition

We’re working toward the Label Qualité FLE, a mark of trust and excellence that reflects our commitment to high standards and transparency.

Grow Responsibly

Remaining a human-sized school, where progress goes hand in hand with care and community.

We focuse on what matters most: people, learning, and genuine connection.

Inside FLA, you’ll find a modern, comfortable environment designed to help you learn effectively.

Our classrooms are well-equipped, and adapted to small groups, ensuring focus and participation.

From digital tools to flexible learning spaces, every detail supports your progress — allowing you to study, exchange, and feel at ease.

Here, learning takes place in a calm, professional setting — close to Paris life, but focused on what matters most: your growth.
