French Summer Camp in Juan-les-Pins, France

The French course follows an active and communicative teaching methodology designed to develop both language skills and personal growth. Classes are held in the morning from Monday to Friday, with a maximum of 10 to 12 students per class for the Premium program and 15 students for the Prestige program. The daily 3-hour session is divided into two parts: 2 hours of classical work covering oral and written comprehension, expression, grammar, pronunciation, and French culture, followed by 1 hour of oral activities designed to encourage interaction and build confidence. The curriculum focuses on developing all four language skills—speaking, writing, listening, and reading—through interactive activities such as debates, role-plays, drama workshops, and group projects.

On the first day, students take a placement test to ensure they are placed in the correct level. The Premium program accepts all levels from complete beginner to advanced, while the Prestige program requires a minimum B1 level. The standard course consists of 20 lessons of 45 minutes each, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. For the Premium program, an intensive option of 26 lessons per week is available for an additional fee, with classes held in the afternoon in small groups of up to 6 students.

The all-inclusive package covers everything needed for a worry-free stay, including the French course, accommodation, full-board meals, a comprehensive activities and excursions program, 24/7 supervision, and transfers from Nice Côte d'Azur airport or Antibes station. Optional extras include the Intensive Course for the Premium program, a VIP option for a room with a balcony at the Castel Arabel residence, host family accommodation (available from age 13), and special dietary requirements.

Students in the Premium program (12-17 years) can choose from three luxury residences: Castel Arabel, Aragon, or Astor. All residences are located within walking distance of the beaches and town centre and offer air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, WiFi, and gardens. Castel Arabel is the main hub, featuring a swimming pool and a restaurant dedicated to students. Rooms are single or shared occupancy, with a VIP option for a room with a balcony. For the Premium program (8-11 years), accommodation is exclusively at the Castel Arabel residence, which has 24/7 security and allows younger students to enjoy independence with access to the pool, gardens, games room, and canteen. The Prestige program (13-17 years) offers accommodation at the Castel Arabel residence with modern, air-conditioned rooms with private balconies. A host family option is available for students aged 13 and older in the Premium program, offering a fully immersive cultural experience with carefully selected families.

All programs operate on a full-board basis, providing three meals per day. Breakfast and dinner are served at the residences, while lunch is provided at the "Le Château" school. Meals are prepared on-site and offer balanced and nutritious options. The school can accommodate special dietary needs upon request and for an additional fee. The dining experience is designed to be social and part of the overall community atmosphere.

The activity program is designed to be both fun and enriching, offering a perfect balance of sports, creative workshops, and cultural excursions. The Premium program includes a full-day excursion (such as Aquasplash water park, Monaco, or Nice), a half-day excursion, and various activities such as bubble football, flying yoga, zumba, jet boat rides, laser quest, kayaking, sailing, and visits to a private beach. Sports competitions, cooking workshops, and drama sessions are also offered. The Prestige program includes one half-day excursion per week (discovery of Cannes, Nice, or Monaco), one full-day excursion or activity on weekends (Aquasplash, watersports, or boat cruise), one afternoon at a pool club or inflatable water park, two half-day activities (sailing, Ninja Warrior, trampoline park, bowling), and evening entertainment such as barbecues, quiz nights, parties, and beach parties. The goal is to foster cultural discovery, teamwork, and lasting friendships through a diverse and engaging program.
