French Language Courses for Groups

Immersive, Inspiring Learning

Transform your French school trip from tourism into a lasting learning experience by including lessons at one of our carefully chosen partner language schools.

At a time when school trips to France are under increasing pressure to fit into tighter timeframes and budgets, including a French language course in your itinerary can be a great way to demonstrate the added value of your trip.

Groups can request closed classes at language schools, giving you the freedom to specify the material and skills you want your students to cover. Advanced learners can explore topics of the A-level syllabus in real depth, while younger students can enjoy immersion in the target language which would be impossible given the limited amount of time allocated to MFL at home.

Classroom enrichment, real-world experiences

Our partner language schools provide inspiring, enriching teaching to small groups in their attractive, modern premises, so your students enjoy attention, support and challenge throughout their stay. But language learning is never limited to the classroom, so your course can include activities where students experience using French in the real world, such as:

Market visits
Treasure hunts
Cultural activities such as singing, games, pétanque and tours
Opportunities to meet and engage with local people, schools and businesses (in certain cities)

Friendly local support and expertise

When you include a language course in your itinerary, you benefit from having a friendly local expert on hand in your destination city. Language school teachers give tours, organise sorties pédagogique, and are always on hand to help guide, advise and support you. From advice on the best place to catch a bus to a local attraction to support with navigating local services in a major incident, your language school gives you the peace of mind that your students are in safe hands at all times while abroad.

Cost-effective trip planning

As many attractions and activities are raising prices, language lessons can be a cost-effective way of ensuring your students enjoy an immersive experience while keeping to a tight budget. Activities arranged by language schools are often priced competitively compared to commercial offerings, giving your students the chance to experience a broader range of activities.
