With support from the California Arts Council, EFSAC will be able to organize multiple cultural events that the organization was not able to pursue due to the pandemics for the last two years, and to continue to support our cultural workshops for the benefit of our students.
1. French Language Instruction (FLAM Program)
As an organization recognized by the Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Étranger (AEFE) as a FLAM program and member of FLAM Monde, EFSAC provides structured French language instruction designed for children ages 4–16.
Our program supports:
Heritage French speakers maintaining their mother tongue
Bilingual children strengthening literacy and academic French
Non-native learners developing French as a second language
Curriculum components include:
Reading and writing development
Oral expression and comprehension
Grammar and vocabulary acquisition
Cultural literacy embedded in language learning
Age-appropriate academic reinforcement
Instruction is adapted by level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) to ensure differentiated learning and measurable progress.
2. Cultural Education & Francophone Heritage Programming
Language learning at EFSAC is inseparable from culture. We integrate:
French and Francophone history
Literature and storytelling
Arts, music, and creative expression
Global Francophone traditions and celebrations

Through cultural events and thematic projects, students experience French not only as an academic subject but as a living cultural identity.
