Description: Intrax Study Abroad: Explore France!

Learn:

On our academic programs in France, students will attend a local French High school called a Lycee. Education is a very important aspect of a French teen's life and many hours a week are devoted to schoolwork.

Your curriculum will be based on age, past course work and language ability. Typically, students will take the following subjects: French literature, physical education, history, geography, mathematics, science, English, and a foreign language (German, Spanish or Italian). The school may also offer classes in music, theater and art to round out your studies. Academic Year, Fall Semester and Spring Semester programs require two years of high school French language study, or the demonstrated equivalent as classes will be conducted in French. This is a great way to improve your language skills and return home fluent in French!

Why learn French? French is spoken by over 265 million people worldwide and is an official language in 35 countries!
