L'Ordre du Cotillon Francophone
French, character, and confidence for young learners, ages 8 to 17 — in Sarasota.
Our signature program is unlike any language class or cotillion. Students advance through four Orders — Page, Écuyer, Héraut, and Chevalier — earning three seals along the way: Language, Virtue, and Eloquence, recorded in their own Livret de Chevalerie. Through theatre, public speaking, and character formation, your child gains not only French, but poise, confidence, and a sense of honor.
Four Orders of Advancement
Students progress through each Order, earning recognition and growing in language, character, and oratory.
