The Prestige Program
is a unique French immersion experience specially
designed for ambitious teenagers who want to make progress, develop
their leadership and thrive in an international environment.
This innovative program combines learning French, personal development and leadership workshops.
Students strengthen their language skills while acquiring essential soft skills for their future: self-confidence,
ease in speaking and the ability to decide and convince others.
The program takes place in Juan-les-Pins, a lively town by day and night that offers an environment that is both fun and safe, ideal for welcoming our international students.
Our qualified teachers offer a dynamic approach that sparks students’ interest in French through active, hands-on learning. Far more than traditional classes, our lessons are designed to develop both language skills and personal growth. (20 x 45 min / week)
This program combines language learning and personal development through interactive activities: debates, role-plays, drama workshops and group projects. Students thereby strengthen their confidence in speaking, their ease in public and develop communication and leadership skills.
Students are accommodated at Castel Arabel residence, located between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, just a few steps from the beaches and town centre. This peaceful and secure residence offers modern, air-conditioned rooms with private balcony, a swimming pool, a garden with terraces and a restaurant dedicated to students.
Choosing a prestige language stay in Antibes means combining learning with unforgettable discoveries.
Every week, our students enjoy a
full program of varied excursions and activities, supervised by our activity team.
- One half-day excursion per week: discovery of Cannes, Nice or Monaco.
- One full-day excursion or activity at the weekend (for stays longer than one week): day at Aquasplash, outing to the Watersports Center or a boat cruise.
- One afternoon at the pool club or inflatable water park: relaxation and adrenaline guaranteed with our water activities such as the towed banana boat.
- Two half-day activities per week: sailing, Ninja Warrior, trampoline park, bowling and much more.
- Evening entertainment: barbecue, games, quiz nights, parties, beach parties and shows.
With such a rich program, students enjoy a stay that is as entertaining as it is rewarding, in a friendly and international atmosphere.
Young students are taken care of from their arrival at Nice Côte d’Azur airport, Antibes train station or at the residence reception. From that moment on, the activity team remains present and also makes sure to monitor each student’s permissions to go out.
Our young students may benefit from parental permission to go out; below are the different options offered by the school depending on age. Please note that age is determined by the full date of birth (day, month, year) and not just the year of birth.
Supervision
A team of activity leaders present 24/7
Our activity leaders are key contacts for our students and the team ensures that everyone fits in well from the moment they arrive in this small community that is a campus or a school. The activity team, their proximity, enthusiasm and the sense of safety they provide are essential to the success of the stay.
On our campuses, we follow a rigorous organisation that meets specific standards: a centre manager (coordination of all staff), an academic director (management of the teaching team), an activity manager (management of the activity team), a deputy activity manager (assistant to the activity manager), supervision staff on the residential floors during the day when the children are present, and during the night.
Security
Strict control of entrances and exits!
The activity teams record all entries and exits of students and ensure compliance with parental permission and that everyone returns safely, leaving nothing to chance. At night, the supervisors sleep on site, managers and activity leaders, while night guards are already on duty from 7:30 p.m.
During the day, a free shuttle service connects the campuses with the town centre or the beaches, and the activities offered at our kiosk comply with European safety standards.
Free time to go into town or to the beach after the end of activities and until the 7:30 p.m. dinner
Possible permission to go out until 10 p.m. from Monday to Thursday and until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
Several of our international students share their language stay in Juan-les-Pins at our school : French classes, activities, entertainment, accommodation... Discover their stories!

Juan-les-Pins, the “fun” district of Antibes, is actually the name of the town’s most beautiful beach, which has been joined by urban development.
Located between Nice and Cannes, Juan-les-Pins is a students’ paradise and can be seen as the Saint-Tropez of youth.
For 40 years, we have been organising language stays in Juan-les-Pins. This town on the Côte d’Azur is a clever mix of relaxation and French chic. In this human-scale seaside resort, everything can be reached on foot. Students can easily move between their accommodation, the beaches and the town centre, all just a few metres apart.
The Prestige program offers your children the best possible setting to have fun while developing their self-confidence and personality.
This program offers a unique stay, combining high-quality accommodation with highly popular activities. It allows teenagers to fully invest in themselves.
12-year-olds are not allowed to go out alone. From the age of 13, they may have some free time to go to the beach or shop until dinner time. With written parental permission, 16- and 17-year-olds may go out until 10 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, permission is extended until 1 a.m. and the school shuttles bring students back to the campuses.

No lectures, but interactive activities in the form of role-plays that motivate children to speak. Everyone wants to express themselves to defend their ideas and naturally acquire oral skills while overcoming shyness.
The goal: get children used to wanting to argue in French so that they gain self-confidence.
Depending on their language level assessed during the placement test held on the Monday of arrival, students have 3 hours of French per day based on active teaching methods in order to stimulate young learners’ desire to learn.
First part: 2 hours of classic work
These standard French courses for teenagers develop four skills (reading, speaking, writing and listening):
Grammar, pronunciation and French culture also complete these skills in line with the recommendations of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Second part: 1 hour of oral activities
This more active, light and enjoyable hour is designed to make students love French. Each teacher plans oral activities that complement the first part of the lesson in order to encourage interaction and build young learners’ confidence.
The
intensive courses
are aimed at students who
want to progress quickly
. They offer general French teaching focused on acquiring the
oral, written and grammar skills essential for each level
. Pronunciation and French culture also complete these skills.
Depending on the students’ level and in line with the recommendations of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, teachers create a
weekly program of more than eighteen hours to help their students progress
.
Thanks to the active teaching methods developed by the Centre International d’Antibes, teachers know how to capture young people’s interest and engage them in
work on written and oral expression and comprehension.
