Launched in 2021, Cin\u00e9School uses French-language cinema to support French learning from elementary through high school. The program is open to French teachers in public and private nonprofit schools, accredited French schools, Alliances Fran\u00e7aises, and FLAM (French as a Mother Language) programs. Each year, it offers a curated selection of French-language and Francophone films, available online for students and accompanied by ready-to-use educational resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the French For All<\/em> initiative<\/a>, Cin\u00e9School provides teachers with a flexible and engaging way to bring cinema into the classroom while helping students discover the diversity of French-speaking cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Turnkey Educational Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For each film, teachers receive pedagogical materials designed to prepare students before the screening and extend the learning experience afterward. These resources include teacher and student workbooks, vocabulary and comprehension activities, and discussion prompts adapted to different age groups and language levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After watching the films, students can continue exploring them through interactive activities on educations platforms, Genially and Padlet. Genially offers self-correcting quizzes to strengthen comprehension, while Padlet gives students the opportunity to express their ideas in French through short videos, audio, or written responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Films Available Online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cin\u00e9School is fully digital and accessible across the United States. Films are streamed online through the FestivalScope platform during designated viewing weekends, allowing students to watch them at home, individually or with their families, using their teacher\u2019s account. This format makes the program especially easy to integrate into classroom instruction, homework assignments, enrichment projects, or family-based French learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
