On our school year program, you will live with a host family, study French in a French high school and make friends for life, that is our commitment to you.
An experience that will turn 12-15 year old students into adults who are open to the world.
We offer hosting programs for students who want to spend a year or semester studying in France with a 4-week induction course on our summer campus to give them gentle immersion in the language.
All students enrolled for a school year will spend 4 weeks in Antibes before attending their high school in Saint Raphael.
