What better way to learn French than learn French surrounded by the beauty that France is known for?
IPSL's partner schools offer everything from beginner to advanced French language in small group classes or private sessions. They include weekly cultural activities allowing students to explore the region, meet ‘real French folk’ and practice what was learned in the classroom. Examples of activities include tasting the local cuisine and wine and visiting the beautiful surrounding towns. They also organize games and sport, literature activities, etc. and encourage their students to participate and interact using the newly learned French language skills. Some locations offer opportunities to Engage in Ethical Service Learning which will help you connect with communities, contribute meaningfully, and deepen your understanding of local cultures.
