It is one of nearly 1,500 Alliances Françaises located in 138 countries worldwide. The first to bring the French language to foreigners, the Alliance Française has spearheaded teaching methods which take into account not only the mother tongue of each learning public but also their traditional ways of learning
In the summer of 2000, the French Cultural Center (at the time known as The French Library and Cultural Center) entered into an agreement with l'Alliance Française de Boston et Cambridge, combining forces to promote the French language and culture in the Boston area.
