The Alliance Fran\u00e7aise of Montreal opened its doors on October 26, 2023, to the jubilation of the French-speaking community. The organisation was first created in 1902 and was active for nearly 98 years between 1902 and 2000 when it shut down for various reasons. With its official re-opening late October, the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise of Montreal has received a new lease of life in response to a growing demand for French tuition.<\/p>

Together with offering high-level French classes, the promotion of Francophone culture is an important objective of the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise of Montreal. It aims to contribute to the cultural diversity of the Francophone community of Montreal by facilitating positive and inclusive intercultural events that will bring together the various cultures present in this city\u2019s amazing community. Our hope is that the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise of Montreal will come to be recognised as a leading cultural centre, capable of embracing the cultural diversity of the French-speaking Montreal community.<\/p>

Much commitment and effort has gone into the process of receiving official certification from worldwide network of Alliance Fran\u00e7aise, by the Board of Directors<\/span> prior to the actual launch. The initiative began a year ago with Christophe Brayet, Director<\/span> and Alexe\u00ef Vostrikov, Academic coordinator<\/span> (Educational Director\/ Teaching head)<\/span> as well as the Board of Directors. Temporary teaching premises were needed before a permanent locale could be set up, so Montreal CoWork at the heart of the Francophone neighbourhood, le Plateau de Montreal, is currently the base for an office open on once a week on Wednesdays. Classes and exams are also already underway there. The Alliance Fran\u00e7aise de Montreal has thus been given new life with a unique three-fold mission and values.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
