French Immersion for Adults
The French Immersion for Adults program at Waring School offers an immersive, conversational French class for adults. The program is designed to help adults speak French with better ease and fluency, join in conversation with their French-speaking child or family member, prepare to travel to a Francophone destination, or simply brush up on a new language as part of their lifelong learning.
