We measure your progress

With our course schedule, you can choose the number of lessons that you will attend each week depending on the goals you have set for yourself. You can combine more than one course during your stay, prepare for a DELF examination, or obtain another internationally recognised certificate at any time.

All our courses have been carefully structured with the aim of facilitating the development of communicative skills. Held in mini-groups with not more than 10 people, they are designed to meet your expectations and help you improve your current levels of skill, whether for personal, academic or business reasons. We offer courses at all the various levels, from beginners to advanced.

To help you get the maximum benefit from your course, you will sit a comprehensive assessment test when you arrive. This will help us place you in a class that is suitable for your level. We will then follow your progress and suggest a change of level if this becomes necessary.

If you are in two minds about which course to follow, or do not know which of the available exams best meets your needs, contact us so that we can advise you in the right direction.

In order to help you get the most out of the lessons, we will give you a thorough evaluation test as soon as you arrive. We will then be able to place you in a group that's perfectly adapted to your level. Your progress is then carefully monitored, and we will suggest class changes if we feel that this would be beneficial

The Lac Léman area (Lake Geneva)

Located within the French speaking region of Switzerland, the Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) area is ideally situated at the crossroads of the great European road and rail routes, and served as it is by Geneva international airport, it attracts an enormous number of visitors from across the globe every year.

Its privileged location and the wide variety of services on offer have enabled a considerable number of private schools to develop within this dynamic region, thereby contributing to the excellent international reputation for education that Switzerland enjoys today.

Choose to study in the French speaking region of Switzerland and you will enjoy the perfect setting for learning, at the very heart of Europe, less than 2 hours from Paris, London, Milan, Munich or Barcelona.

Montreux

This small town on Lake Geneva is the pearl of the Swiss Riviera. Welcoming visitors from throughout the whole world has become a way of life for this charming place, which is home to just over 20,000 inhabitants. In summer the towns pulse quickens as a diverse and vibrant public from all over the world gets into the spirit of the famous jazz festival. In Montreux every season is wonderful. In the background the Alps form a magnificent panorama as well as being an all-year-round sports paradise. The school enjoys an ideal position in the centre of town, just a stones throw from the lake, which is a major attraction in itself, popular with people everywhere. The colourful, palm-lined lake promenade offers up countless treasures as you make your way along it: small coves suitable for bathing that are ideal for celebrations of every kind and where crowds of students and families gather on warm summer evenings, panoramic terraces and international restaurants, a conference centre whose cultural agenda could not be more international, and for history lovers an imposing 13th-century castle accessible by foot from the lakeside promenade. Major cities are also within easy reach. Lausanne and Geneva are just 20 minutes and an hour away respectively from Montreux.

Host family

The vast majority of our students choose to stay with a host family. It is unquestionably the most effective way to really plunge yourself into French-speaking culture and to make rapid progress. There's no doubt that students who choose to live with a French-speaking family assimilate the language much more rapidly. Daily contact with the family enables you to practise the language constantly, as well as to explore the mentality, expressions and customs of the French-speaking Swiss people in a pleasant and friendly setting. Friendships are often forged, and many students keep in contact with their host families long after their stay has ended.
We choose our host families with great care, we visit them and we know them all. What's more, because we believe that your accommodation is an extremely important part of your stay, we maintain regular contact with our host families, and twice a year we organise large get-togethers to which all the host families and students are invited.
