Our adult program offers a more sophisticated culinary experience. It includes the preparation of a three-course French menu. In addition, participants may opt to have this workshop instructed in French.

Book Groups

This program is offered in three group categories: advanced high school, college and adult students. It consists of six 2-hour sessions per semester. Members of the groups will read a novel written by a French author and will be assigned a section of the book to present. After presentations, the students will go above and beyond simple conversations, by addressing themes found in the work.
