This flexible Combination Program allows students to vary the duration and Language Immersion Program studied in each location. Participants may continue their studies as they move from one location to another.
For further immersion in the language and culture, guided excursions, tours and activities are provided at no additional cost. The Program is designed to provide participants with ample opportunity to learn and use the French language and be a part of a comprehensive learning experience.
