Reviews by former students who attended a course in Lyon

Teaching is to a high level and there is good variation throughout the class day. All teachers are exceptionally talented and linguistic. Lyon is a vibrant city with so much going for it. I would highly encourage anyone looking to learn French to come to this school. Standard is incredibly high and there is a lot of passion and commitment from all staff to push their students to a higher level of language learning.
Definitely worth while experience.

Overall, I was very enthusiastic about the quality of the school. Everything was very well organised, you were well informed about the procedures in advance. On the first day, there was a nice welcome with a friendly assessment of language skills. All of the teachers I experienced were friendly, personable and absolutely professional. My teacher Constance made the lessons very lively, with good, creative ideas. She was able to turn even dry grammar lessons into motivating units with a lot of humour. I also found the afternoon activities good and interesting. I especially liked the French dinner at Chantale's. Absolutely recommended!
Overall I was very satisfied and will probably come again

Reasonable price, quality of teaching, comfortable classrooms, kindness of teachers and other staff. Through Google Classroom you can access the summary of everything given in class every day.
I've only been there for a week, but due to the quality of the teaching, I think it's worth doing long-term courses.

I am looking for a school for my son in Lyon, France.
“In Lyon we work with several schools. The minimum age of acceptance for their adult courses varies between 17 and 18, depending on the school, so if your son is already 17 by the time you want him to start the course, and already has some knowledge of French, then he can start the course any Monday of the year. If he is younger than 17, then the only option we can offer is a private course in a teacher's home (Study & Live in your Teacher's Home).”
