Social Programme

In addition to language courses, our partner school regularly organises cultural activities for its students enabling them to have a better understanding and appreciation of French culture. This program varies according to the season and the Parisian cultural events.
Some examples are:

• Walks in historic and picturesque areas of the capital either with a guide or on fact-finding missions designed by the teaching department: the Latin Quarter with Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Marais, Montmartre with the Sacré-Cœur.
• Guided tours of the city’s many museums: the Louvre, the Museum of Modern Art, the Picasso Museum, etc.
• Outings to the cinema or the theatre which often give rise to lively discussions in Parisian cafés.
• Excursions on the weekends like for example to the Loire Valley and its famous castles.

In the summer, students are invited to attend weekly conferences held at the school on various topics of French civilization and culture.
