Study Abroad in France–Summer High School Programs in France 2012
Our fabulous French group program: Aix-en-Provence
For students who want the perfect balance of language school classes, host family living, and exciting excursions in France, there is no better choice than our summer program in Aix. In the heart of staggeringly beautiful Provence, the location is a great base from which to explore a region famed for its art and culture.
Our students love getting to know this compact, safe, and lively French town.
“Our language teacher was an incredible instructor. The class was engaged as a whole and I felt like a native French student here in Aix. I am thrilled that I chose a program that included staying with a host family. I was always included and felt fully immersed in the culture.” – Philip A, Student, Aix-en-Provence 2008
