Our partner school in Nice is located at the heart of the capital of the French Riviera, just a stone's throw away from the shops, the beach and the old town. The language school occupies a former “Belle Epoque” hotel that has recently been completely renovated. With 16 classrooms, this school offers modern facilities, free Internet access and a library. During breaks or after classes, you can relax in the garden. In order to be able to welcome all the students whilst keeping reasonable class sizes, from July to September Alpha B opens a second language school centre with 12 classrooms and identical facilities, close to the main building.

Nizza hat extrem viel Kultur zum Entdecken, Museen, Restaurants, Gebäude, Märkte etc. Es waren oft einige aus der Schweiz in einer Klasse, aber wir hatten so gute Lehrer und eher kleine Gruppen, dass man trotzdem sehr effizient lernen konnte. Unsere Lehrer waren äusserst professionell und engagiert. Der Unterricht war gut strukturiert und man lernte extrem viel. Die Ausflüge der Schule waren immer sehr gut organisiert. Die Reiseleiter kannten sich wirklich aus und waren immer zur Stelle bei Fragen.

« Ja, durch die kleinen Gruppen kam man viel mehr zum Reden als in grossen Klassen in der Schule. Die Lehrer waren Muttersprachler und somit war das Lernen auch viel konsequenter und effizienter. »

Top tips
« Unbedingt die Tour nach Monaco machen. Die Schule ist sehr gut organisiert und man lernt Monaco gut kennen. Die Märkte sollte man anschauen und in die Oper oder in die Museen gehen. Der Strand eignet sich selbst im Herbst noch zum Schwimmen, da das Wasser dann immer noch warm ist. »

Ich war begeistert von Nice! Von vorne bis hinten! Die Klassenräume waren jetzt icht soooo toll, aber war schon okay!Hatte zwei Wochen super tolle Lehrer, aber eine Woche hatte ich eine schlechte Lehrperson, die absolut nicht auf uns eingegangen ist und in dieser Woche habe ich somit auch leider nicht wirklich was gelernt! Hätte mir keine bessere Gastmutter wünschen können! Würde sofort wieder zu ihr! Sie kocht unglaublich gut, war immer sehr interessiert und hat gefragt, was wir so gemacht haben tagsüber, sie hat und Reisetippa gegeben, von ihrem Leben erzählt,...Immer französisch mit uns gesprochen und uns dazu motiviert, dies auch zu tun! :)

Testimonials

Isabel Mugartegui Eguia
Isabel Mugartegui Eguia
Alpha-B, Nice
Duration: 24 weeks

Students may have lessons in three different buildings, but most of the classes take place in a single building. It is a welcoming building with light classrooms dating back to the 19th century and located right in the town centre. The teachers are attentive and patient with foreign students, but above all, they are very helpful. I had the same teacher during most of my stay. His teaching method was perfectly adapted to my classmates and me and I can say that my language skills greatly improved. The school staff is always available for students. Being nice and friendly is included in the service here!

My host family: simply perfect! A beautiful house and a welcoming environment. What more could I ask for?

Host family
This is the ideal option for a total immersion in French language and culture. Host families are selected by the school and live about 20-30 minutes by public transport from the language school. You can stay in a single or a double room (with another student of the same sex and a similar age) and half board is provided to all students. In addition, your host family will provide you with bed linen and bath towels and will pick you up at the airport.

France Riviera residence
Stay in these well-equipped, self-catering single studio apartments for your language stay in Nice, just 2 minutes on foot from the beach and 10 minutes by bus from the picturesque city centre. Each of the 52 studios comes with a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave and stovetop, plus a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning (including change of bed linen, provided free of charge) and a desk. The perfect accommodation option if you’re looking for a little independence during your stay on the French Riviera!

Shared apartment
Sharing an apartment with one or several people from Nice can also be a very good accomodation option. Twenty-thirty minutes away from the school, you will stay in a single or double room and will share the common areas of the apartment. You will be able to cook your own meals in the shared kitchen, with your flatmate(s) or on your own. Please note that bath towels are not provided.

Located by the sea and not far from the mountains, Nice offers many outdoor activities such as rafting, canyoning, horse riding and even skiing. If this is not enough, enjoy your nights out in a club or at a concert, and take part in the activities organised by the cultural association Lingua Franca: French film screenings, museum guided tours, excursions with commentary, festivals and cultural activities on the French Riviera.
