French courses for teenagers in Switzerland

With 30 lessons per week, the PREMIUM course is ideal for motivated students who want to dedicate themselves to studying. The 6th daily lesson is focused on writing skills and organised in a mini-group of a maximum of 7 participants.

The INTENSIVE course differs from the standard course because of its fast work pace and further investigation into subjects with a more communicative and relaxed approach with optional topics and conversation. The 5 additional lessons per week mainly focus on oral communication.

Our STANDARD course is an excellent choice if you want to improve your language skills and to have free time on your hands. Classes normally take place in the morning, which means that you can make the most of your time off in the afternoon to visit the city and take part in the activities or outings that the school offers.

The PRIVATE course is tailor-made to your individual aims. With your private teacher, you will work specifically on the skills you wish to develop and progress according to your needs and at your own pace.

If you have specific language needs or if your working hours are not compatible with fixed course schedules, private lessons are the answer: -The course program and schedule are established according to your needs. -You can start or stop the course, and postpone or cancel lessons with a minimum of formality.

The daily format of this course (3 hours per day, 4 days per week) is designed to achieve maximum results. Our programme takes a practical approach by putting theory into practice, providing ample speaking opportunities, encouraging discussion between students, enriching vocabulary and consolidating grammatical knowledge.

Our Language Courses are an ideal way for adults and older teens aged 15+ to experience and enjoy developing English or French language skills during a stay in Verbier.

The Intensive course is for students who want to maximize their language learning practice during their stay. The courses focus heavily on speaking and communication skills: the morning consists of 3 hours in communication skills, while the afternoon consists of activities in French to provide the opportunity to learn the local culture and customs.
