French
Le Châtelard’s academic program is designed to prepare students to take official DELF (Diplôme Elémentaire de Langue Française) exams. During the school year, students are given the opportunity to attend three official exams sessions in France. At the end of the school year, most of them obtain the B1 or B2 international diplomas. These are recognized worldwide and allow the students to enter French universities. https://www.alliance-francaise-annecy.com/
