French Classes

Since moving out of our original Williamsburg location, the Coucou headquarters is located in Nolita at 253 Centre Street. The new Coucou space welcomes students in a newly renovated three story townhouse with exposed brick walls. The school takes up the two upper floors with a total of 8 classrooms, increasing our offering with several additional classes every evening, plus many daytime and weekend classes and classrooms dedicated only to private lessons.

Steps from several major subway lines, this new flagship location retains the intimate feel that our students have come to love, while gathering all teaching and administrative staff under one roof and providing the full Coucou experience to all students.
