Quality of schools

• ... motivating classes

All of the ESL partner schools have a high-performance academic structure which allows them to offer you a wide range of courses. Whatever your level of language knowledge, you will be able to take a course corresponding to your objectives and to your language level. Motivating classes, in small groups, combine dynamism and seriousness and it is in a stimulating and international class atmosphere that you will study the language of your choice. The modern and innovative teaching methods and approaches used during these courses allow you to get results fast. It's a new way of learning a language, which is effective and attractive...you will make progress without even realising it!

• ... dynamic teachers

Qualified and experienced in the teaching of their mother tongue as a foreign language, the teachers place particular importance on actively making the most out of the international make-up of the classes, in order to create a motivating work climate. All of the teachers of our partner schools are of course qualified, but what we are looking for in them cannot be summed up by a degree. They are chosen for their teaching talent, their capacity to combine professionalism and enthusiasm and for the attention they know to give to each student.

• ... an international life experience

Various accommodation options and a wide range of leisure activities offer a tightly packed and appealing extra-curricular life. The quality of the discovery of culture and human relations abroad is the other essential aspect to the success of a language study stay abroad. For this reason, our partner schools carefully select the various accommodations and organise exciting activities programmes!
