Discover the Alliance Française de Seattle

The Alliance Française de Seattle is a dynamic educational and cultural 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of Washington, whose mission is to promote the French language and Francophone cultures through diverse programs in the Puget Sound area. It is part of an international network of Alliances Françaises—834 in 132 countries, and 108 of them in the USA alone— which carries 3 missions:

• Offer French as a foreign language classes to all audiences with a high standard of teaching methods
• Share French and Francophone cultures locally in various dimensions
• Favor cultural diversity by highlighting the value of multicultural understanding

The Alliance Française de Seattle offers French language classes for all ages and levels, with certified FLE (Français Langue Étrangère, or French as a Foreign Language) instructors. We maintain the largest French certification center in the Pacific Northwest, administering regular sessions for the TEF (French Chamber of Commerce) and DELF/DALF (French Ministry of Education). Our cultural center proposes concerts, lectures, screenings, workshops and exhibits for our local community of Francophiles, Francophones, and French learners.
