Location

Studying French amongst the history, culture and cosmopolitan life of Paris is truly an experience to remember! The language school in Paris is  right in the heart of the city.

The school is situated in the heart of Paris, offering students a quintessential Parisian experience. The campus is situated in the 7th arrondissement, placing students within a short walking distance of iconic landmarks including the Eiffel Tower and Champ-de-Mars. You will find a young and dynamic atmosphere at the school, which has modern classrooms, free wifi, and study areas including computers. The school is wheelchair friendly.

Students will be allocated to a class depending on the results of their level test prior to their arrival.

Language Course

The core course comprises 20 lessons which concentrate on learning and actively using French. The tuition is very much practice oriented. You will participate in group sessions alongside other students of a similar level, with lessons focused on improving all aspects of the language; speaking listening, reading and writing. There are 4 x 45 minute lessons per day which take place during the morning. 

You will be given a written assessment before you travel and a speaking assessment on the first morning before lessons in order to place you in the group most suited to your ability level. Classes have an international flavour and a lively feel because they are grouped by ability not nationality or age.

Work Placement

There is no replacement for using your language skills practically in real life situations and in the country where the language is spoken. On a Work and Study trip you will have the opportunity to improve your French language skills in the morning lessons and then be exposed to the language in a practical work situation for the afternoons, giving you the optimum chance to gain confidence in all areas.

Each of our work experience placements fits one of our Business Categories. Placements include shops, restaurants and hotels, nurseries, radio stations, sports facilities - almost anything that you will find in a big city! Our placement team take great pride in securing placements that meet our students' needs. Take a look at our Gallery to see the variety of placements we offer.

Optional Social and Cultural Programme

The school offers a range of activities during the week, such as a film club, meal out at a local restaurant and excursions to the many cultural and historic sights and venues in Paris. Some of the activities incur an extra cost (payable on the week of your stay directly to the school) however, many of the activities in Paris are free. All activities are optional.
