Location: A few minutes walk from the town centre, students will find Centre Caribéen de Langues.

The main centre of the town is minutes away by foot, and there are well connected bus stops at the end of the road.

Getting around: The school is just down from the main road of Sainte-Anne. There are plenty of bus stops to travel locally or around the island. Restaurants, shops and local necessities line the highway, all of which are easily reachable from the school. The white pristine Caravelle beach is accessible by foot from Centre Caribéen de Langues, and it is a popular place for those who like water sports. The Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport is either a 30-minute car ride, or an hour and a half on public transport, depending on the time of day and direction you take.

Course structure: The school provides French language classes in either a group setting or private classes directly with the teacher.

Accommodation: Accommodation can be booked through the school as a homestay, private bungalow or studio.

School facilities: Centre Caribéen de Langues has a compact library, wifi as well as free coffee and tea. The staff at the school are very knowledgeable about the island and all its special features. Whilst the school does not organise activities themselves, they are happy to advise students on excursions, which could include hiking, beaches, water sports, golf or even sailing.

Student opinions about Centre Caribéen de Langues, Sainte-Anne

Liked
Very relaxed atmosphere with great local teachers who also joined us occasionally for dinners etc. The school is very small, which comes with the benefit of very small groups (2-4 students at the time when I was there).
Insider tips about what future students should not miss While I was staying in Saint Francois (~20 min. by car from Sainte Anne), the school's primary homestay option is located approx. 10 min. walking distance on a hillside above the school and was very much recommended by other students.

We had really small groups (2 to max 5 students) and the teachers were all very very good. Absolutely recommendable!

Unfortunately, there were no activities offered by the school at all at the time. But when asked, our teacher took the initiative and the students organised themselves.
