Bienvenue ! Welcome!

Founded in 1890, the Alliance Française de Melbourne (AFM) is an Australian not-for-profit association dedicated to the promotion of the French language and culture. It is also the largest language school for French in Victoria with an average of 3,000 students per year.



Covid restrictions

Following the announcements regarding Metropolitan Melbourne easing out of lockdowns over the coming weeks, please find an update regarding our classes:

  • Children’s classes will return in-person at our St Kilda campus from Saturday 6 November. Please note that both parents of Pre-schoolers need to have presented their double-vaccination certificates to AFM at least one week before in-person classes commence
  • Adults and Teens classes will remain online until the end of the year to allow enough time for all our students, staff and independent contractors to be double-vaccinated, for the safety of all the AFM community

Don't worry, you will be able to enjoy the full experience and benefits of learning French from home thanks to our online classes.

Thank you so much for your support and patience in these challenging times.
