The French language course in Juan les Pins, 13 to 17 yrs, offers French courses with other teenage language students, who have a similar French language level. Students are encouraged to talk, learning to express a variety of points of view in French.
Standard Course: General French language skills focus on the acquisition of oral, written and grammatical skills in mini-groups. Speaking French with native French speaking teachers and your fellow students in small classes, ensures learning becomes more natural, as inhibitions are overcome and confidence gained!
Supplementary 06 classes: Additional classes concentrate on conversational skills, role play is key to this, guided by your French language teachers.
Social activities provide contrast and bring an additional element of fun to the overall programme. The French language college staff are aware that the students are on holiday and therefore do all they can to ensure students enjoy their French experience, both in and outside the classroom.
In July/August the French for Teenagers in Juan les Pins, programme offers bright, modern classrooms, an on site cafeteria, a small private garden and outside terrace where students can relax after class.
French language school staff will live in the on site residence with the students – so if there are any questions, there is always someone to turn to.
A bus will transfer students from Residence One to the school each day of the week, and to any activity not within walking distance, (students can walk to the town centre or beaches during free time, after the activities).
Weekend adventures
Students spend the day with group leaders; excursions each Saturday vary, maybe a day at aquasplash, a catamaran trip, or to the water sports centre.
Afternoon trips
The perfect way to unwind after your French classes, with a different activity offered four times a week; for example sailing, kayaking, laser quest, ninja warrior or a guided trip into Cannes or Monaco plus one free afternoon a week so you can explore on your own with new friends.
Evening events
Games, shows, a disco, a BBQ evening, themed parties, pizza party on the beach etc.
Located between Nice and Cannes, Juan les Pins and Antibes are at the heart of the Côte d’Azur. Juan les Pins attracts visitors from across Europe and beyond, scented by pine trees in the park and fringed by golden beaches, merging into Antibes, home to prestigious shops and typical cafes. The area has an allure that draws celebrities and tourists alike, for the beach life, the wonderful weather and the ‘Jazz à Juan’ festival, each summer.
Students love the turquoise blue seas, the brilliant sunshine, the narrow cobbled streets of the old town of Antibes, and the modern promenade along the shore line of Juan les Pins.
