Accelerate your French with four weeks of language immersion in this student-friendly city in southern France. After language classes, dive into French conversations out in community markets, cafes, funky shops, chic boutiques, and the liveliest square in town—Place du Capitole. Also enjoy cultural activities, such as playing traditional music at the Centre Occitan, opportunities to talk with French teens, and visits to significant sites, such as the historic Jacobins monastery, the Aeroscopia Museum, or the Hall of Machines with its mechanical wonders, including a giant dancing spider!
Living in a local homestay puts you in tune with the customs and rhythms of everyday life, and it grows your language and cultural competence in countless ways. Weekend excursions take you to Carcassonne, a World Heritage site and medieval fortress, and to the French Mediterranean coast where you will explore beautiful sea-side villages and enjoy a stroll on the beach or a dive in turquoise sea water. Rich experiences in and out of Toulouse will steep you in culture—food, art, architecture, natural beauty, and thousands of years of French and Roman history.

I would be very likely to recommend it because I enjoyed my experience so much. I learned a lot of French, traveled to new places, tried different foods, and made friends from many places. Meeting new people and traveling were some of the best parts.
I had a great time here. Not only was it an amazing cultural experience but a life changing personal one as well. There was an infinite number of new things here for me. Things I did, felt, thought, experienced and I think I learned so much about myself from that and grew a lot too. With the independence came maturity. With the homesickness came appreciation. With the free time came time management. With the fear came courage. With the fun came great memories. There were a few things I didn’t love. For me, the class in the morning was the worst part of my day. There wasn’t enough energy from my teacher for the content to be interesting. It was also too easy but I was already in the highest level. The program is expensive so I would recommend applying for scholarships. Overall though, I would recommend CIEE Global Navigator High School Summer Abroad.
I really really enjoyed my time abroad!! I feel like I grew a lot as a person and made a lot of new friends. Most of the activities were fun and well organized, and I really liked my host family. I also feel like I learned a lot about the language in classes and on the street.
