Primary French for children aged 6+

Primary-age learners need a class that is structured but still warm. Lessons build pronunciation, listening, first reading, sentence patterns and confidence through activities that make sense for children after a long school day, not a mini adult course.

  • For primary children aged 6 to 11
  • Beginner to higher intermediate groups
  • 1.5-hour weekly classes
  • Native and experienced French teachers

Secondary and JC French for MOELC-style progression

Secondary and JC students need more than playful exposure. Lessons build grammar accuracy, listening comprehension, oral answers, vocabulary recall and written structure. For students following a French-in-lieu or third-language pathway, teachers can align revision with school priorities while keeping the class communicative.

  • 2-hour weekly classes for many secondary and JC groups
  • Support for oral, listening, reading and writing skills
  • Revision habits for school tests and year-end assessments
  • Private lessons available for focused exam preparation

French in lieu of Mother Tongue in Singapore

Eligible students in Singapore local schools may study French instead of Chinese, Malay or Tamil after approval through their school and MOE. French Studio supports the learning pathway from primary through secondary and JC, with level advice, documentation where required, and group or private tuition according to the child’s needs.

  • Check eligibility and the application process with your child’s school first
  • MOE-registered private school support
  • Beginner pathways and placement guidance for prior learners
  • Official letters and certificates available when required

Francophone and FLM classes for French-speaking children

French-speaking children living in Singapore often need regular contact with French beyond everyday conversation at home. Francophone and FLM-style classes strengthen literacy, spelling, writing and richer vocabulary. A short trial or teacher check can confirm the right group based on the child’s age, literacy and active use of French.

  • For children from French-speaking and bilingual families
  • French used naturally as the class language
  • A social setting with other French-speaking children
  • Placement guidance to avoid a class that is too basic

Finding the right class for your child

  • Beginner 1 for complete beginners
  • Placement support for prior learners
  • Advice for MOE and school pathways
  • Private tuition for focused catch-up or exam needs

Classroom materials

Books are chosen around the child, not the other way round

French Studio uses books to give families continuity from one week to the next, then teachers add games, oral prompts, revision sheets and writing tasks according to the age and school pathway of the group.

Often used with older learners when the class needs teen-friendly topics, short projects and enough structure for school-age revision.

Exact book and level are confirmed with the teacher before purchase.

Les Loustics

Useful for younger children because the page work can be paired with songs, visuals, movement and short routines the teacher can repeat over time.
