Description

The Aspire French Language and Culture Immersion Program provides students with the opportunity to study at the Institute Catholique de Paris and earn college credit! The summer session provides a general overview of French language and culture for all levels. Classes are taught in French, and a placement exam will be administered upon arrival to determine each student's level of language study. Most classes will be held in the mornings, allowing for participation in Aspire cultural and recreational activities in the afternoons and on weekends.
