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.

Next sessions

The DELF Scolaire and DELF Junior exams follow the same structure and assess language proficiency equally. However, they differ in administration and candidate eligibility.

DELF Scolaire is organized within schools, either on-site or at AFC, and is specifically designed for students enrolled in those schools. On the other hand, DELF Junior accepts individual candidates who are not taking DELF Scolaire through their school.
