DELF Junior / Scolaire

DELF Junior/Scolaire is a diploma issued by the French Ministry of National Education, recognizing French-language studies. While it shares the basic structure with the standard DELF, the topics are tailored to the interests of young people. It is designed for children aged 12 to 18.

DELF exams are globally recognized and provide a lifelong valid diploma for your child. The awarded diploma is identical to the standard DELF certificate. It is widely implemented in Alberta and across Canada, offering independent registration for candidates. The exams assess the four communication skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. For a comprehensive overview, sample exams, and student work examples, visit the official website dedicated to DELF examinations in Canada here.

* Includes a $30 administrative and registration fee for DELF levels A1, A2, and B1, or a $50 fee for DELF B2.
Please note that the prices will change in 2025, including administration fees, as follows: A1/A2 = $180, B1 = $264, and B2 = $284.
