Our story
We met in 2022, in Italy, during a 2 years mission at the Institut Français centre Saint-Louis in Rome. We were sent on a teaching and pedagogical coordination mission by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
While there, we were involved in a variety of tasks, including teaching, training the teaching team, creating online lessons and activities for the e-learning platform, and organizing workshops about French language and culture.
From colleagues to friends, we discovered what our common dream was: to open a school that felt like home. A school where learning French isn't just about sitting behind a book for hours doing grammar exercises. We want to create a dynamic and interactive learning environment that inspires a whole community of learners, both online and in person when we'll have premises.
