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.
