Keep Learning French

What Keep Learning French does

Keep Learning French (KLF) is a French private alliance of five independent French-as-a-Foreign-Language schools operating under a unified brand and standardized curriculum. The network comprises LSF Montpellier (the largest node at 3,000+ students annually), IFAlpes Annecy, Newdeal Institut Bordeaux, Lyon Bleu International, and Langue Onze Toulouse, collectively serving approximately 7,000 students per year from 55 countries with 100+ teachers and counselors. KLF delivers immersive in-person French language education ranging from standard and conversation-intensive courses to Bildungsurlaub-eligible intensive programs (Intensive Premium 30, Super Intensive 40), with course durations from one to 36 weeks, and complements academics with homestay accommodation and cultural activities (wine tastings, cooking workshops, pétanque, market tours). It also operates segmented programs for juniors/summer camps (ages 8–17), seniors (50+), teachers and professionals (TEFL/business French), and B2B school groups, supported by a multi-language website (English, French, Spanish, German) and a standardized multi-destination learning model that allows students to transfer between member schools without re-enrollment fees.

The business is fundamentally a physical-services education operator: revenue is generated through tuition (subscription-style weekly billing), accommodation services, cultural activity add-ons, and one-time school-group contracts. GTM is direct-to-consumer for individuals via the website (Book Now and Free Quote CTAs) with a parallel direct-sales motion for institutional school groups. All schools are Qualité FLE certified by the French Ministry of Higher Education and are Campus France partners, and key programs qualify for German Bildungsurlaub funding. Technology footprint is modest: an online learning management system with an integrated French proficiency level test, plus Tawk.to live chat — no proprietary AI models, mobile apps, or disclosed platform APIs. The ownership structure is described as a cooperative alliance rather than a single corporate entity, with no parent, PE/VC backing, or funding rounds disclosed.
