France | Academic Year Program

High school classic

CEI is proud to offer the experience of a lifetime ! Studying in a French secondary school (Collège or Lycée) while sharing the everyday life of a volunteer host family.

Living in a French volunteer host family

There is no better way to immerse yourself in another culture than to live with a host family. The host families offer support and guidance to students during their stay, while sharing local customs.

Our host families are as diverse as our participants. All families are carefully screened and prepared for the experience. The matching of the host family and the students is based on the student’s profile, personality and common interests.

Students will feel at home while away and will develop strong long-term relationships.

Immersion in a French high school

Students are placed in either public or private schools. They will spend 5 days per week at school, usually from 8:00 am until 5:00pm or 6:00pm, in classes with French classmates.

Depending on their age, students are placed in either Troisième (14-15 years old) or Seconde (15-16 years old). They typically take courses in French literature, foreign languages, history, math, economics and science. Students placed in Classe de Premiere (16-17 years old) and in Classe de Terminale (17-18) will be enroled in one of these academic areas : Literature, Economics, or Sciences. All classes are taught in French.
