5-8 Weeks High School Programs in Paris, France

Immerse yourself in the French language as you journey through six distinct regions of France—each with its own identity, landscape, and history. Begin in a small Breton fishing village and experience daily life in the countryside, then explore Paris, the cultural capital of the world. Strengthen your language skills through hands-on interactions: shop in open-air markets, interview local artisans, and learn from chefs, historians, and outdoor guides. Live with a host family and gain real insight into everyday customs and conversations. Swim in the Mediterranean, hike in the Alps, and wander medieval streets in Provence. Return home with stronger French, greater confidence, and a deeper connection to France’s rich regional diversity.
