French study holiday in Antibes, France for children & teenagers
Our partner school in Antibes was established in 1985, it is recognized by the French government and by many international language associations, and receives more than 7000 students (including 1700 young people) every year: yet this relatively big institution offers a very familial, human-scaled program for children and teenagers who want to learn French and have a nice vacation on the French Riviera.
Classes are therefore held in small groups (12 students maximum), and teachers-animators who are always around when participants have fun in the school's swimming pool, play games, or go on a trip to Monaco, the Nautical amusement park or the Lérins Islands.
Several options are offered for the accommodation: participants can live with a local family or in one of the school residence.

Educational aspect:
To make their stay in a French family a success, the students must attempt to express and communicate in French as much as possible and try to forget their own language, culture, and habits.
One of the great advantages of living with a family is that the students can experience everyday situations in France.
The students also learn a great deal about the French way of life and civilization, if they are prepared to make an effort to adapt the family environment.
The family will surely also have questions to ask about life in the student’s own country, as well as his culture and traditions.
Additional information:
Students should be aware that when they enter someone’s home as a guest, they must inevitably sacrifice a little independence and personal freedom. They have to do their best to adapt to their new family lifestyle.
It is important that the students go out with the telephone number of their host family.
If a student damages, breaks something or loses the host family’s keys, he/she will have to reimburse the host family directly or use his/her private insurance, because it is his/her responsibility!
Students have to keep their rooms clean and tidy throughout their stay.
20 lessons of 45 minutes per week; Mondays to Fridays from 9am to 12.30pm. On the first day there will be a placement test. For a one-week stay only 16 lessons are taught.
There is a full-day and half-day excursion per week.
