In summer we offer the opportunity for young people to be fully immersed in the French culture and language, motivating them in their French studies and allowing them to learn the language in-country. We teach using active and dynamic techniques to reinforce their knowledge of French, which is often passive. We always select our best teachers to offer a quality service to these students. It is also possible to learn English with the same programme.
International House Nice summer camp is located in a very safe district of Nice, near the sea and the city centre. It is near our main school in the Estienne d'Orves boarding school, at 13 avenue d'Estienne d'Orves, 15 minutes walk from the seafront and 25 minutes from the Nice old town. The students will live and do all of the activities and classes in the same school, creating a great atmosphere for learning and having fun. The campus can accommodate 100 students and the cafeteria, classrooms, well-equipped bedrooms (two- or three-bed with shared bathroom) and large school yards complete the immersive experience.
