AFX French Language School

Brisbane Private Schools introduces AFX French Language School in Brighton, for all your education and learning needs.

In the mid 1990's Elisabeth Thomas, co-founder of AFX, was looking for exchange programs for her children, who, like many French students, wanted to go on exchange to improve their English language skills and experience different cultures. The programs she saw were not organised to the standards she required. It was at this time that Elisabeth met Ben Dinning, AFX's other co-founder, an Australian student at Melbourne Grammar School on exchange in France, who was being hosted by family friends of Elisabeth Thomas. Ben and Elisabeth discussed student exchange and upon Ben's return to Australia, he organised an exchange for Elisabeth's daughter, Vinciane.

Vinciane's exchange to Melbourne, at St Catherine's School, was such a success that many of Elisabeth’s friends asked for Elisabeth and Ben to organise a similar experience for their children. Demand for this service grew, and Elisabeth and Ben created AFX as a company in 2001. AFX aims to provide exchanges of the highest quality, where all families and students are treated with the same level of care as that first exchange . Every student in Australia and France is visited in their family home by the AFX team, personalities and lifestyles are carefully matched, safety and quality are foremost and the AFX team is always contactable whilst on exchange.
