Alpadia Summer School Paris–Passy: Residential French and English Camp near Paris

Alpadia Summer School in Paris-Passy is run by Alpadia Language Schools, part of Kaplan International, on Avenue Otis Mygatt in Rueil-Malmaison, west of Paris. It is a residential camp for students aged 13 to 17. Programme and activities. Unusually for the provider's French locations, both French and English are offered here, each in Standard and Intensive formats — four course options in total. The provider describes an elegant green campus in a leafy neighbourhood on the Seine, with accommodation and activities included alongside tuition. Accommodation and supervision. Students have single rooms with shared bathrooms in a supervised student residence. Single-room accommodation is rare among the camps in this catalogue, most of which use twin, triple or quadruple rooms. For a teenager who values privacy, or who has not shared a room before, this is a meaningful practical difference — though families who want their child to share for social reasons may see it the other way. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 13 to 17 across all four courses. Arrival dates begin at the end of June. Currently open sessions appear in the session list on this page and should be confirmed with the provider before travel is booked. Location and travel. Rueil-Malmaison is in the Hauts-de-Seine department, immediately west of Paris, connected to the city by RER. Charles de Gaulle and Orly are both usable arrival airports. Transfer arrangements are not published as part of the standard package and should be confirmed directly. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families wanting a Paris-area base with a green campus rather than a city-centre address, students who would do better in a single room, and those who want the option of studying English in France or French in a bilingual setting. As with Paris-Igny, the minimum age of 13 excludes younger children. Families choosing between the two Paris centres are mainly choosing between a suburban garden-town setting and a campus by the Seine, since the course structure is comparable.
