Frequently Asked Questions

How much supervision is there?

Students are supervised and chaperoned at all times during school and the organized activities.

Permission to go out at night depends on location: Participants aged from 15 and + are allowed to go out in the evening until 21:00, those under the age of 15 are not allowed to go out.

Do I have to speak French outside of the classroom?

Language practice and immersion are the main priority of this program. While we do not require the students to sign a contract stating they will only speak in the local language, it is highly encouraged that they use their language skills when talking to friends, partaking in the daily excursions and at night in the residence hall or host family home. Program staff and chaperones primarily communicate and answer questions in the local language.

How many other students will there be and where are they from?

A majority of our students are American between 14-17 years old. However, there are students participating from around the world, so your child will have a cross-cultural setting both in the classroom and out. While the number of students does vary by start date, we like to keep small classes with no more than 15 students.
