Alliance Française Sunshine Coast

In 1883, 140 years ago, Jules Verne and Louis Pasteur, along with other illustrious visionaries, designed the structure for the Alliance Française whose mission is to promote French language and culture around the world.

Based upon the exchange of cultural and linguistic values, the Alliance Française still contributes to the gathering of thousands of women and men who hold those values and want to continue to do so. The Alliances Françaises are the only language schools with worldwide recognition and official accreditation by the government of France.

People who come to our classes are interested in what we share as well as our cultural differences.

The Alliance Française de la Sunshine Coast is part of the world's largest network of French language schools: more than 820 Alliances Françaises in 132 countries. Every year, from the African continent to Northern Europe, from Asia to Oceania.

On The Sunshine Coast Since 2008

Founded in 2008, the Alliance Française de la Sunshine Coast (AFSC) is a registered not-for-profit association dedicated to the promotion of the French language and culture.

The AFSC encourages and promotes active, open connections between people on the Sunshine Coast and French language and culture.

It provides the means by which people can learn the French language and become engaged in the many different aspects of French culture including art, books, poetry, film, history, gastronomy, contemporary affairs, thoughts and ideas.
