About

The Alliance Française de Philadelphie is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting the French language and Francophone cultures in Philadelphia. Founded in 1903, it is part of the global Alliance Française network, which began in Paris in 1883. The organization plays a vital role in cultural exchange and language education. It offers a variety of French language classes for all levels, catering to different learning needs. The Alliance also hosts cultural events such as dinner gatherings, movie screenings, and lectures, allowing members and the community to engage with Francophone culture. Additionally, it serves as an official examination center for the TCF, DELF, and DALF exams, which are important for those looking to study or work in Francophone countries. The organization awards scholarships annually to support francophone students and young professionals in their educational pursuits. The Alliance Française de Philadelphie operates from two locations: Center City and Bryn Mawr College Campus. Membership provides access to events, resources, and a library.
