The School
This school is located only 50 km south of Paris in the city of Melon, seat of the Captain Kings. Melon lies next to the beautiful forest of Fontainebleau, famous for its ancient trees and rock formations. The Castle of Fontainebleau is one of many historical sites in this area.
Famous for its rich history, beautiful architecture and cultural diversity, Paris remains one of the most visited cities in the world. Paris has always been a hive of artistic and intellectual activity with its 134 museums, 170 theaters, world famous universities and cultural festivals, which take place all year round. Paris is also of course the capital of fashion and design and internationally renowned for its boutiques, department stores and young designers.
The main objective of the course is to enable you to transfer communication skills already mastered in your native language to the new language. Oral communication is a priority : learning to listen and understand, to express yourself correctly and with a good pronunciation. The goal is to raise you to an efficient standard of communication which requires not only a perfect command of the language but also a profound understanding of the cultural context.
