FLAM: Afterschool French Programs for Native Speakers

Français LAngue Maternelle (FLAM) provides extracurricular programming in French to native francophone students enrolled in American schools.

Français LAngue Maternelle (FLAM) programs offer after-school classes, summer camps, and other cultural activities to native French and Francophone children in the US not enrolled in French immersion schools, for grades ranging from pre-K through high school.

Supported by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, FLAMs also promote access to higher education in French through language and cultural classes, and provide resources for students to prepare for French and other international diplomas.
