Program Quality
THE TEACHING TEAM
A dynamic team of teachers, all with relevant university degrees, is coordinated by a group of directors drawn from each of the languages offered.
A DYNAMIC APPROACH TO TEACHING
All lessons are created according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Various tools are used including the most up-to-date teaching methods and primary source documents. After encountering various communication situations in the classroom, students will quickly achieve greater autonomy outside of the classroom as well.
Lessons take place in multimedia laboratories, audio-visual rooms and traditional classrooms.
We guarantee a course that includes all the fundamental components that a French language learning experience in France should have: teaching, leisure and individualized help. The quality of our program has been officially recognized by the label “Qualité Français Langue Étrangère” awarded by the French Education Ministry, the Culture and Communication Ministry as well as the French Foreign Office.
