Our French language school in Paris has 35 years of experience and its quality is recognised by many official bodies (Professional consortium of French as a Foreign Language Providers, Souffle, Qualité FLE from the French Government, etc.).
French courses take place in brand new air-conditioned premises in a fantastic location, very close to the Eiffel tower, just a few minutes’ walk from the Champs de Mars, the Musée du Quai Branly, the Invalides (with the tomb of Napoleon the 1st), the Seine river and the Bateaux Parisiens, and opposite the Eiffel Tower, the Trocadéro and its famous gardens and fountains.
Our French school’s teaching method includes taking into account the language needs and learning strategies of each student.
Its main aim is to recreate real-life situations where students will be able to put their French to practical use and develop their learning strategies, enabling them to use the communication skills they already have in their native language when speaking French.
In its Teaching Method, grammar is taught through language games and exercises incorporated into the lessons.
This program is specifically designed to improve students’ marks for their Leaving Certificate French exam.
It includes general french courses in the morning and two-afternoon workshops dedicated to the preparation for the French Leaving Certificate exam.
Oral communication is a priority in our morning course: learning to listen, understand, speak and express yourself naturally and appropriately, with fluency and correct pronunciation and intonation.
During the 2 afternoon workshops, teenagers will study past exam papers and teachers will provide constructive advice about exam preparation techniques including stress management and memory aids.
Students can add up to 3 workshops of their choice either on Monday (Oral Communication or French Culture and Civilisation or Writing & Grammar), Wednesday (Writing & Grammar), or Friday (Oral Communication or French Culture and Civilisation or Writing & Grammar).
Note • With the confirmation of their registration, students will receive a self-assessment form and a written test that they must complete and return to us before the start of their course so that our teaching team can place them in a class of their level.
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 to 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.
Students have the choice to stay with a local host family or they can follow this course without accommodation.
Accommodation is from the Sunday prior to the course start date until the Saturday after the end of the course (you can book extra nights).
Our host families are carefully chosen by our partners and located in Paris “intra muros” which means students will not travel to the suburbs to go home after class. The host families are used to welcoming foreign students and, therefore, know how to help them familiarize themselves with the French way of life and French culture.
Every Monday (accommodation from Sunday to Saturday), all year-round

My stay at the school was extremely pleasant even in these uncertain times of Covid-19. The teachers were very competent and I was able to learn a lot, especially orally. Time passes very fast when you are learning there.
Overall it was a very enjoyable and satisfactory experience.
