Programs
The Cours Florent is known as one of France's most prestigious drama schools, offering classes for students beginning at the age of seven, and offers children's classes, teenagers' classes, and a three-year program to learn acting. The school also has a specialized class to prepare students for the competitive examination of the prestigious Conservatoire national supérieur d'Art dramatique de Paris (CNSAD), as well as the École nationale supérieure des arts et techniques du théâtre (ENSATT) in Lyon and the École supérieure d'art dramatique of the Strasbourg National Theater. But the Cours Florent is above all famous for its Classe libre (Free class) where many French actors and actresses have studied, with teachers like Francis Huster, Jean-Pierre Garnier, Hervé Falloux and Antonia Malinova.
The Cours Florent also has a series of Master Classes with major actors, which has featured Olivier Marchal, Gilles Lellouche and alumni Diane Kruger, Gad Elmaleh, Guillaume Canet and Jacques Weber among others. It started offering summer courses in Morocco in 2009 and now also offers courses in China (with the École Française des Arts Appliqués de Pekin) and Portugal (with the ACT-Curso Escola de Actores).
