French in NH Schools
In January, the Manchester School District approved funding to launch a French-English immersion program at the elementary level for the 2025-26 school year.
As part of our ongoing mission to celebrate French language, culture, and heritage, the Franco-American Centre proudly matched the first $5,000 raised by the district—and we are thrilled to share that we reached our goal!
​
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this successful campaign. Your support is helping to sustain a vital program in New Hampshire’s Queen City and is paving the way for a vibrant, bilingual future in our community!

French Heritage Language Program
affectionately know as the Afterschool French Clubs
​
Currently offered at two Manchester schools, Webster and Northwest, the program engages over 35 students who meet twice a week for one hour after school. The goal is to help students learn French in a fun and interactive way through games and activities.
​
This initiative is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Albertine Foundation.
