Description

The camp is located in the small village of Cap d'Ail (pop 5,000), not far from both Nice and Italy at the heart of the French Riviera (Cote d'Azur). The Cote d'Azur is one of the most visited parts of France, famous for its sun-drenched beaches and warm waters of the Mediterranean. Also, nearby is Monaco (Monte Carlo) which is second only to the Vatican as the smallest independent state in Europe. The country is a narrow ribbon of coastline backed by the Alpes-Maritimes foothills, creating a natural amphitheater overlooking the sea.

School Facilities: The campus over looks the Mediterranean Sea and its closest beaches are only a 10-15 minute walk away! It offers a picturesque park and an Amphitheater conceived and decorated by the celebrated artist and poet, Jean Cocteau to reflect classical Greek themes. The Amphitheater is an integral part of the campus, providing an artistic backdrop to the cultural and educational activities. Students stay in simple 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms with bathrooms in the school residence directly on the campus. Students of the same age and sex room together. Meals are provided at the school cafeteria.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
