At Frassati International, our students attend two kinds of courses:

• French as a Second Language courses
• Specialized courses in French
  

Classes are held in the mornings from Monday to Friday.

French as a Second Language courses:

Each day of the week for the first 3 weeks of the module, our international students attend 3 hours of "French as a second language" classes.

Lessons are taught in small groups and are tailored to the students' level. They are elaborated according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This framework of reference allows us to adapt the progression of language skills to the level of the student.

Specialized courses:

These courses are a strong side of our program.  Our international students attend 2 hours of specialized classes entirely taught in French: History and Geography, Mathematics, Literature, Economics, etc.

Through this deep language immersion experience, students are confronted with real-life situations that require them to use their French language skills, all in a caring, self-paced atmosphere. 

We want our international students to discover France and its neighboring European countries.

In addition to the courses and to the various activities held in our school, we also organize cultural excursions and trips.

All these trips and excursions are included in the cost of our programme!

Cultural excursions:

Each month a cultural trip is planned to explore Paris or another city in France (Strasbourg, Nancy, Dijon, Lyon, etc. ). Students go and explore France and its culture.

Trips in neighbouring countries:

International students also discover Europe and its heritage. Each month, there is a one week trip to a european neighbouring country.

Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Greece, Italy, etc.

Sports activities are a core component of our education project.

Our school organises various sports activities: RUGBY, FOOTBALL (SOCCER), FRENCH BOXING (SAVATE), LONG-DISTANCE RUNNING, SWIMMING, KAYAKING, ...

The practice of sport contributes to the development of a high number of personal qualities: Team spirit, the sense of endeavour, exceeding one’s limit, etc.

We therefore highly encourage our international students to take part in these activities which are opportunities to communicate in French and to progress.

Students may also consider joining a sport club in Vittel. They could also practice sports in the CPO designed to prepare the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.

We provide food and housing to our international students during the whole length of their stay.

The students have access to a washing machine and to all the amenities needed on a daily basis.

HOUSING:

The students enjoy their own private room in our school building.

FOOD:

We provide all meals from Breakfast to Dinner.

1 to 2 weekends each month our international students stay within a French family.

Our programme takes it roots in the idea that immersion is the best way to learn foreign languages. To complete this experience, we give to our international students the opportunity to share the life of a French family 1 to 2 weekends a month. Those are unique opportunities to discover the French way of Life and collect lifetime memories while putting into practice one’s language skills.

To supplement their language training, Frassati International students take part to a one-week theater workshop. A unique opportunity to put into practice their new language skills and to make progress!

These theater workshops are held under the supervision of trained professional stage directors. Students work their oral productions, their breathing and the rythm of their speaking. It is an outstanding experience to improve the students' oral skills in the target language: French.
