Homestay and learning French in Paris

The homestay program is an excellent way for teachers to put into practice what they teach and for students to learn French and experience French culture. Our CEI host community in Paris.

Host families

Our host families are carefully selected after an interview and a home visit by a CEI local representative. Availability, open-mindedness and hospitality are the major criteria for the selection of host families.
Host families live approximately 15-30 minutes from the school. Students receive full board accommodation (breakfast, packed lunch and dinner).

Accommodation

Homestay is in the South of Paris in a quiet and safe residential city, Bretigny sur Orge. Access to Paris is easy by public transport.

French Courses

15 hours per week from Monday to Friday (5 x 3 hours) in a local school. Classes are taught by native French teachers in closed groups depending on the number of participants and the level of the group. Teachers use dynamic, interactive educational methods and materials. Students receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.

Social and cultural activities

Along with the French classes, students will participate in afternoon activities in Paris. Excursions and specific activities upon request.

Supervision and safety

Assistance of the CEI team and local representative throughout the stay if needed. Meet and greet service on arrival. All our host families live in safe and quiet residential areas.
