English Summer School In France

Situated in the heart of the Dordogne, the English Summer School in France offers students the opportunity to study English in small class sizes in the safety and tranquillity of what is popularly known as “Little England”.

The all - inclusive, English Language programme is a fun, learning experience offering a variety of activities, organised sports and an excursion programme.

We believe that the way to learn English is to be totally absorbed into the language and to have fun, developing skills both in and out of the classroom. The sunshine is a bonus too!
