I would not recommend Alliance Francaise de Raleigh for potential students of any level. I have…read moretaken several classes in the past and do not find the teachers either very responsive or patient with the students. The director of Alliance Francaise, Claire, is also not particularly welcoming and can be condescending as well. I strongly suggest not taking classes at AF Raleigh. There are plenty of Alliance Francaise chapters in different states that offer a wide range of classes for different levels with highly proficient and experienced instructors. These chapters offer both grammar classes and conversation/thematic ones as well. You can find a variety of courses online with the different Alliance Francaise chapters.

We do after school here and it's great. My daughter especially loves the art class and I'm always…read moreimpressed at what she brings home. Summer camp is also a win. They can take "little field trips" so it's not just one room or building all day long. She eats a better lunch here than she does at her elementary school, ahah. We get pictures at the end of the camp and she's always smiling and learning. The best part is the mentorship program; it seems that older kids may volunteer (?) and she always has positive experiences learning from older kids "teaching" them with simple science experiments or helping organize a "puppet show" for example. The building isn't anything to brag about but the teachers and staff are amazing.

Those days were my nightmares. Summer has started, my friend Xueyan recommended Champion Education for the summer camp programs, my two boys have been enrolled the whole summer, 10-week in total. I never expected the miracle will happen. To my BIG surprise, they so LOVE here, teachers, food, activities etc, everything. I am very grateful to find such a paradise. Thank you

ZERO STARS!!!!!!DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!!!! I called and received a sketchy call center who would…read moregive my number to Helen. With in a two hour window she repeatedly called me like an ex after a breakup without leaving a voicemail. When I called her back she seemed annoyed that I was calling her back. I wanted to talk to her about general practices she would do with my son for stuttering and all she wanted to talk about was insurance billing and pricing and what school he attends. I am sorry, but your fee of 65 dollars a week and 250 dollar upfront fee is not worth stressing about if we're talking about a child's speech that will impact the rest of their life. When I expressed my feelings of not being sure why she kept talking about insurance she hung up on me. If your child's speech is important I would quote Helen " you would be better suited for looking for another practice." Thanks Helen

They help the little pumpkins grow so well. They share their daily curriculum on app; they have very consistent photos/videos sharing everyday.

We are so glad we joined them and kind of wish we did it sooner.

We love L'Academy!!…read more My infant son has been enrolled here for nearly a year at this point and was one of the first infants in the program. It's obviously very nerve-racking to leave your child, especially once so young, in the care of other people but it's so clear that Miss Lin, Miss Suzie, Miss Ayana, and Miss Laura all love our son as much as we do! He is always so happy to go to school in the morning! He reaches for his teacher to hold him and is all smiles when I leave for the day. The teachers are all very attentive, responsive, and take our concerns about his development into account. When I was concerned about some of my son's gross motor skills, extra time became dedicated to help him strengthen muscles and meet his milestones. The language immersion program doesn't begin technically until he is two years old, but in the meantime, although our plan is to have him in the Spanish program, he is being exposed to both Mandarin and Spanish by his teachers, their assistants. We travel a lot and like to take our son with us, but I've got to say, when we do, we try not to stay away too long and always look forward to him going back to school.

Chesterbrook assured us we'd likely get in within about six months. Fast-forward seven months: we received an email letting us know we won't be getting off the waitlist after all. But no worries- Chesterbrook (and their capital partner, Primavera Capital Group) has generously volunteered to keep our $100 registration fee for "safe keeping." So unless you've got the right connections and can pull some strings, save yourself the donation and don't bother.
