With its proximity to Washington DC and a wealth of opportunities, the chapter provides French and Francophone immersion experiences for members who live or work in the greater Northern Virginia / DC area, especially in Washington DC, Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Loudoun, and Fairfax counties. Others who live or work nearby are welcome as well. Social, cultural, artistic, and pedagogical activities are offered throughout the year, as well as a culminating awards ceremony for National French Contest award winners each spring. Our chapter seeks to grow and become more dynamic every year, in order to support
our teachers and students.
