A not-for-profit organization, the Alliance Française is dedicated to promoting the use of French and the appreciation of cultures that share the French language in their common heritage. Established in 1903 with approximately 1,000 students and members currently enrolled, it operates as a cultural centre and language school in the Greater Halifax Area.
It is part of an international network of 1,000 other independent Alliances throughout the world. The Alliance Française promotes communication between cultures through an exceptional environment: language classes, lectures, a media library, as well as organizing various cultural activities such as concerts, plays, and art exhibitions which together contribute to create an open cultural exchange.
