3-6 Months High School Programs in France

Develop fluency in the French language and culture by living with a host family and studying at a local high school. Paris is magnificent, but France is more than one city. AFS students have lived in communities ranging from the snowcapped Alps to the sparkling Mediterranean. Most host families live in small towns, which will help you become a part of the community. Since France is a historically Catholic country, even the most rural villages have incredible cathedrals rising above quaint cobblestone streets. And, if you long to stroll the Champs-Élysées and snap pics of the Eiffel Tower, you’ll likely have that opportunity. AFS area chapters in France are usually large and active, planning trips to some of the most iconic destinations with other AFS exchange students worldwide. With AFS, you will discover what it means to live in France as a local. With its architecture, painting, cuisine, fashion, philosophy, and much more, it's easy to understand why France attracts so many AFS students.

Spend a semester abroad in Paris, mastering French and diving into art, science, and café culture. Picture yourself in Paris — café tables spilling onto cobblestone streets, the Eiffel Tower glowing against the night sky, and centuries of history layered into every boulevard. Live with a French host family, build friendships in a close-knit cohort, and immerse yourself in Parisian life. You’ll have plenty of time to make Paris your own, from late-afternoon picnics by the Seine to finding “your” café for morning chocolat chaud. Take excursions to history-rich Normandy, the soaring abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, and the walled port town of Saint-Malo. Your semester will leave you speaking French with confidence and ready to take on college with a fresh sense of independence and possibility.
