What we like about the school
  • Located close to beach.
  • Outdoor garden classroom.
  • Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 15% of students.

Venue: Right in the heart of Nice’s Quartier de Musiciens, the school is centrally located near the Nice-Ville Train Station, equal distance between the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint-Nicolas de Nice and the Basilica Notre-Dame de l’Assomption. From the school it is a short walk to the city’s famed beach and the Promenade des Anglais, about fifteen minutes, and only a little further to Nice’s fabulous Beaux-Arts Museum which, though not very large, is home to many works of interest, particularly by French artists from the turn of the 20th century.

Programmes: The school runs French Immersion programmes for students from all age groups: Junior courses for teens aged 12 to 17 in the summer months; General French courses, standard, intensive or premium, year round for adults; and Club 50+ programmes for mature students at specific times throughout the year.

Getting around: The school is very well connected to the rest of the city by tram, as well as nearby destinations along the Mediterranean Sea by train from the nearby Nice-Ville station. Nice’s Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) is half an hour away from the school by tram or sixteen minutes by car.
