Casse-Croûte
Elevate your French on your schedule. Whether you’re a current student needing an extra boost, a former speaker wanting to maintain your fluency, or a busy professional seeking a flexible "pay-as-you-go" option, our casse-croûte classes are the perfect fit.
In addition to standard leveled classes, the Alliance Française offers pay-as-you-go casse-croûte classes. Held Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 12:00pm to 1:30pm, each class follows a particular theme (e.g., Music, Politics) while the topic of discussion changes each week. This means you can jump into any class - at any time - and you will never be behind.
Zero Commitment: Jump into any class, any time. Each week features a new topic, so you’ll never feel "behind."
Flexible Schedule: Classes run Monday - Thursday, 12:00pm - 1:30pm. Attend once a month or every day.
Affordable Pricing: A 4-class pass is just $68 (or only $38 for students already enrolled in a regular session).
Hybrid Options: Join us in person at the Alliance or remotely via Zoom (Tuesdays are in-person only).
