Accord Paris has taught French from the same spot near the Eiffel Tower since 1988. After class, you can walk to the Champs de Mars, the Musée du Quai Branly or the Trocadéro gardens in a few minutes, and the Seine runs close by too. Classrooms are bright and air-conditioned, fitted with audio-visual equipment, and the building has free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout along with a library and study room.
Teaching runs across six levels, from complete beginner to advanced, with a modern method built around contemporary French culture. Teachers are university graduates trained specifically in teaching French as a foreign language, and they write and update the school's own course materials. You take a placement test before arrival, so you join a class matched to your level from day one, and a course certificate is included at the end.
Classes stay small: 11 students on average, never more than 14. That scale suits you if you want to actually speak in class rather than sit at the back of a lecture hall. The school welcomes students from age 16 upwards, and its community draws from more than 40 nationalities, mixing university students, working professionals and executives across ages and backgrounds.
The school holds five accreditations: the "Qualité FLE" label, Campus France, SOUFFLE, CSN Sweden and Bildungsurlaub. It also serves as an official exam centre for the Examen Civique and TCF examinations. The building caters for students with mobility disabilities, with accessible toilets and partial wheelchair access throughout.
