Choosing Cannes means choosing a comprehensive language camp that combines French theory with practical application through role-play  modules. Through these modules, teens will work towards a shared objective in addition to learning French. As such, they will have been given a pretext for talking with the local population and be removed from the protective environment of the classroom. They will become aware of their ability to speak French and bring projects to completion using only their thinking and French language skills.

As such they will become more confident in their ability to conduct useful conversations in daily life.
The Cannes “Plus” course also includes Summer activities which will enable students to have an unforgettable vacation in the Côte d’Azur sun: From morning to evening, students are looked after and supervised by our activities team. Every afternoon, students take part in a program of activities and excursions through which they are also given the opportunity to practice and improve their language skills.

At the end of the day, students aged 13 and over can have free time to go to the beach or go shopping until 7.30 pm just before returning for dinner on campus. 16 and 17 year-olds are allowed to go out until 10 pm on Monday to Thursday and up to 1 am on Friday and Saturday evenings subject to parental permission. Accommodation is available for all age groups and with host families for 13-15 year-olds only.
The Summer program is also available without accommodation for day students.
