Where You'll Study

Founded in 1919 by la Société des Amis de la Sorbonne, the Cours de Civilisation Française de la Sorbonne is today an independent institution of higher education in France with institutional ties to Sorbonne Université. Students from around the world come to take courses in French language and civilization taught by trained FLE (French as a foreign language) instructors. Students will receive a transcript from Cours de Civilisation Française de la Sorbonne upon completion of their program.
