Spend your summer in PARIS
enjoy a full schedule of sports, leisure, cultural activities and excursions with other international students of the same age....

Bienvenue! Welcome to Paris, known as the "city of lights" and is truly one of the world's most beautiful cities.

From The Louvre's unforgettable painting of the Mona Lisa to Notre-Dame's glowering gargoyles to the glamorous can-can dancers at Moulin Rouge, Paris offers the experiences of a lifetime!

The city has dominated the political, artistic, and intellectual life of France. To artists, it is the capital of paintings, sculpture, design, decoration, music, theater, fashion and literature. To the French, it is the vibrant, beating heart of their country, the center of everything happening in the government and in business.

The River Seine bisects the city and ten of Paris' twenty districts or "arrondissements" are located along the riverbanks. Each arrondissement has a character and a meaning for Parisians and offers an array of cathedrals, palaces, parks and gardens.

This "city of lights" is filled with opportunities and to visit scores of famous monuments and landmarks, splendid royal palaces, the lavish parks the endless wide avenues and ancient fortresses.

Our summer French program is located to the southern edge of the city (on the border of the 13th / 14th arrondissements) a few minutes from Montparnasse, Montrouge and 10 minutes from the Latin Quarter, one of the most dynamic area famous for its shops, cafes, music and fun atmosphere

Located less than 3 miles from the center of Paris, this neighbourhood (Montrouge/Montparnasse) is one of the most pleasant and attractive regions of Paris.

This residential neighbourhood with it's large parks, avenues and beautiful homes became famous at the beginning of the 20th century when it was the heart of intellectual and artistic life in Paris.

The first day of the program is dedicated to welcome students, to test students' language levels and to make sure everyone is familiar with the school policies, the premises and the area.

On the first day of school a placement test is administered to determine the student's level of french. This way, students can start lessons straight away after they have been placed at the appropriate level. If a student is an absolute beginner, they do not have to take a test, and they can start lessons immediately.

June 40 - 80 / July 100 - 120 / August 90 - 100
