Language school Cannes, Juniors programme (13-17 years)

School

ESL – École Suisse de Langues

The school is located only 15 minutes away from the town centre and 20 minutes away from the beach and the famous Croisette. The two buildings which make up the course centre date from the 19th century and blend in perfectly with the charm of Cannes. The campus, which is surrounded by two hectares of private Mediterranean park, consists of classrooms, an independent study centre, a meeting room and sports grounds.

Courses

The French classes take place in the mornings, normally between 8.30 and 12.30, with a break of 30 minutes. The lessons last for 45 minutes each and are given by qualified and native French-speaking teachers. Each class, which is made up of a maximum of 14 students, is formed based on the language level of the participants. The level is evaluated thanks to a small language test on the first day of classes. Mid-week tests on Wednesdays and end-of-week tests on Fridays will allow you to measure your progress.

Communication course
This course allows you to practise everyday oral communication thanks to the use of role plays. It takes place twice a week and each lesson lasts for 45 minutes.

One-to-one course
A one-to-one course allows you to deepen your language knowledge in an individual and particularly intensive way. The course consists of 5 lessons of 45 minutes per week. (Few places available)

Please note: it is not possible to take a communication course and a one-to-one course lesson in the same week
