Advanced French Classes & DELF Certification

Keep your French alive and growing.

The French School of Maine offers adult French classes as a standalone program, open to learners who wish to strengthen their French for personal, academic, or professional reasons. Separately and in parallel, the school also offers access to DELF certification, an internationally recognized French proficiency exam.

These two offerings are distinct and independent: enrolling in adult French classes does not require pursuing DELF certification. However, highly motivated learners who are enrolled in French instruction may choose to work toward a DELF diploma as an optional goal to formally validate their language level. Participation in the certification process is entirely voluntary and not a requirement of the adult classes.

What to expect:

• Small group instruction focused on conversation and written skills

• A fun but challenging environment that respects students’ academic workloads

• Preparation for the DELF Exams (Diplôme d’Études de Langue Française), the official French Ministry of Education certification

Why DELF matters:

• Recognized worldwide as proof of French proficiency

• Valid for life — no expiration

• Boosts school records, college applications, and career opportunities

• Higher-level DELF results (B2/C1) may exempt students from language requirements at universities in the U.S. and abroad

Testing Center in Maine:
L’École Française du Maine is proud to be an official DELF and DALF testing center — the only one in Maine and north of Boston. Students no longer need to travel to Boston to sit for these prestigious exams.
