French Summer Courses for Teenagers in Cannes

Small-group French courses for teenagers aged 12–17, from beginner to B2 level.

French summer courses in Cannes for teenagers

Our French summer courses for teenagers aged 12–17 are designed for students who want to improve their French in a friendly and international environment in Cannes. Beginners are welcome, as well as teenagers who already study French at school and want to continue progressing.

Lessons encourage students to communicate, participate and use French actively while developing their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. With a maximum of 10 students per class, teachers can give students personal attention while creating plenty of opportunities for everyone to speak French.

Many teenagers join us during the summer to maintain and improve their French, strengthen what they have learned at school and build confidence before the next academic year. Our French courses can also help students develop the language skills they need when working towards examinations and qualifications such as GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB, Abitur, Matura, Maturita and DELF/DALF.

Lessons are adapted to the overall level and needs of the group, helping students improve their grammar, vocabulary, comprehension and communication skills in French.

Homestay for Teenagers Aged 16+: Teenagers aged 16 and over can stay with one of our French host families during their summer course, subject to availability. Staying with a host family gives students the opportunity to experience everyday life in France and continue using French outside the classroom.

Morning lessons for teenagers

When organising classes, we take into account students’ French level, age and learning needs. Lessons place particular emphasis on communication and confidence, with a lively, friendly classroom atmosphere where students are encouraged to participate, even if they are beginners.

Classes are limited to a maximum of 10 students, allowing teachers to involve everyone and give students personal attention. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves, speak French and learn without being afraid of making mistakes. This supportive environment helps them build confidence and develop greater enthusiasm for learning French.

The school provides excellent instruction in French with a caring and professional staff, combined with a safe environment and activities for children and adults. I highly recommend.

Ray, from London, father of a 16-year oldFrench course and homestay program

Mio figlio Lorenzo si è trovato molto bene. Considerando che aveva già un livello intermedio di lingua francese, lo staff lo ha inserito nel gruppo adatto a lui e ha imparato molte cose nuove. Grazie… ritorniamo il prossimo anno!
