About Alliance Francaise de Louisville

Alliance Française de Louisville offers comprehensive French language instruction and cultural programming for adults and children in Louisville, Kentucky. Since 1987, when Evelyn Cohn founded the school, AFL has been a premier destination for French language education, providing group classes designed to help students develop practical speaking and comprehension skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. The organization offers flexible learning options including traditional group classes with registration sessions in September, December, March, and June, as well as private instruction for individuals and groups who prefer customized pacing and scheduling. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to advance your existing French proficiency, Alliance Française de Louisville matches students with appropriate class levels and instructional approaches. Beyond classroom instruction, the organization enriches the learning experience through special cultural events that immerse participants in French traditions and connect them with native speakers and fellow French language enthusiasts. As part of the international Alliance Française network—a global organization founded in Paris in 1883 with over 800 chapters spanning 130 countries—Alliance Française de Louisville maintains the highest standards of cultural and linguistic instruction. The Louisville chapter operates as a non-profit, non-political, non-discriminatory organization dedicated to fostering knowledge of French culture and language while building friendly relations between American and French communities. With multiple membership levels available from student to family options, AFL provides accessible pathways for community members to engage with the French language and cultures of French-speaking peoples.
