Students of French in grades 1-12, in all 50 states and abroad, take a written test and compete against students with similar educational background for prizes.
With more than 97,000 United States students participating in 2018 the French National Contest is the largest exam in the nation administered each year to students grades six through twelve.
Our mission is to know and value every child, nurturing intellectual curiosity and confidence, and inspiring students to lead honorably, think creatively, and contribute meaningfully to society.
