Leaving certificate preparation in Paris

With our leaving certificate programme, you will improve your french language skills whilst enjoying living in one of the most famous cities in the world! 

Paris, the city of fashion, art, history, culture and love, is an exciting place to learn French!

Every morning, you will follow general french lessons and our special Leaving Certificate programme includes two afternoon workshops per week, allowing you to prepare for the LC exam in the best conditions. 

While not in the classroom, there will be plenty of activities. Soak up Paris from the river on a Seine cruise, go and see the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum, take a stroll down the famous Champs-Élysées or marvel at the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

On the weekend, extend your experience at Disneyland Paris or by taking part in a tour of the amazing Loire Valley castles!

Our partner school in Paris has over 30 years of experience. It is registered as a Private Institute of Higher Education and its quality is recognised by the French Ministry of Education Quality FLE label.

The french classes take place in a beautiful, typical Parisian building in the heart of Paris. The school is ideally located, on the Grands Boulevards, in Paris, just a few minutes’ walk from the Louvre museum, the Opéra Garnier, the Georges Pompidou Centre and the famous Grands Magasins.  

All the teachers are qualified in teaching french as a foreign language. They develop and update their own teaching material.  

Each year, our school welcomes students from 40 nationalities. 

This programme is specifically designed to improve your marks for your Leaving Certificate French exam.

It includes general french courses in the morning and two afternoon workshops dedicated to the preparation of the Leaving Certificate exam.

Morning lessons are focused on developing the four communication skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. 

During afternoon workshops, teenagers will study past exam papers and teachers will provide constructive advice about exam preparation techniques including stress management and memory aids.

A level test is taken upon your arrival at the school, so you will be in the perfect group for your level.

You will receive a certificate at the end of your course, stating the number of hours of attendance, your initial level and the level you have reached. 

Outside of class, there are many different things to do in Paris. Firstly, make sure you go on a tour of the city and admire the impressive architecture of the french capital. You could visit the Arc de Triomphe, stroll down the Champs-Elysée and visit its various shops, or enjoy the sun outside a cozy café. From the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadero to Sacre Coeur and The Louvre, you will definitely have enough to do during your trip in Paris.

On the weekend, you should definitely go on a day trip to the Palace of Versailles. Not far from Paris, this 17th century baroque castle is among the most beautiful in the world. Wander around the gardens, explore the castle interior, and experience the magic.
