Alpine French School now offers ‘Services à la Personne’ which means that you can use tax credits to get 50% off your French lessons. We are pleased to be able to offer affordable high quality French (& English) lessons for people living in the local area.

There is no paperwork to complete, no approval to obtain, nothing to send off, you just complete a line on your tax declaration to receive your tax credit.

How it works:

Book private lessons for yourself or your children.
Add the total amount paid to your annual income tax declaration.
You receive a tax credit for 50% of the total amount paid.
If your income is too low to pay tax, you will instead receive a cheque for 50% of the total amount paid.
