La Academia de España students plan their next stop as they explore the historic city of Girona. L a n g u a g e L e a r n I n g France Students in grades 9 to 12 wishing to immerse themselves in French language and culture have two options: L’académie de Paris offers a wide range of courses for every level of French student – from pure beginners to fluent speakers – as well as a selection of courses in english for those whose primary interest may be in other subjects. Whatever their priorities, students come away with a new understanding of their subject matter as well as an expert familiarity with Paris. Our philosophy of français d’abord makes it a goal for everyone to use as much French as possible both in and out of the classroom, by encouraging students to speak French first when addressing staff members, in the dining hall, during activities and field trips, and when participating in all program events. L’académie de France is a complete immersion program, catering to students whose aim is to improve their spoken and written French by communicating exclusively in French throughout their time on the program. Students must have already completed at least two years of French in school, and may sign up for a variety of courses focusing on a wide range of themes (from cinema and cuisine to international relations and medicine), all of which are geared toward improving language skills. All communication, throughout the day – in the residence, in the classroom, during activities, during social hours, during excursions, with guest speakers – takes place in French, and students are expected to speak French every moment of the month. (Staff are bilingual and can communicate with parents in English.) Living this way in Montpellier for four weeks, students come away having had a true immersion experience. They can also opt to travel to Paris for five days after the program, in order to continue their immersion experience in France’s spectacular capital (see p. 29). Spain Students wishing to immerse themselves in Spanish language and culture select a program based on their grade in school: La escuela Preparatoria de Barcelona is for students in grades 8-9 at the time they apply. La academia de españa is for students in grades 10-12 at the time they apply. Both programs offer intensive Spanish language at all levels – from pure beginners to fluent speakers – as well as a selection of courses in english. Whatever their priorities, students come away with a new understanding of their subject matter as well as an expert familiarity with Barcelona. Our philosophy of español primero makes it a goal for everyone to use as much Spanish as possible both in and out of the classroom, by encouraging students to speak Spanish first when addressing staff members, in the dining hall, during activities and field trips, and when participating in all program events. The intention is to improve everyone’s Spanish and to make everyone feel comfortable in a Spanishspeaking environment. Students can also opt to travel to Madrid for five days after the program, in order to extend their language-learning experience in the Spanish capital (see p. 41/p. 53). 3
