High School Study Abroad in Paris, France

Develop fluency in the French language and culture by living with a host family and studying at a local high school. Paris is magnificent, but France is more than one city. AFS students have lived in communities ranging from the snowcapped Alps to the sparkling Mediterranean. Most host families live in small towns, which will help you become a part of the community. Since France is a historically Catholic country, even the most rural villages have incredible cathedrals rising above quaint cobblestone streets. And, if you long to stroll the Champs-Élysées and snap pics of the Eiffel Tower, you’ll likely have that opportunity. AFS area chapters in France are usually large and active, planning trips to some of the most iconic destinations with other AFS exchange students worldwide. With AFS, you will discover what it means to live in France as a local. With its architecture, painting, cuisine, fashion, philosophy, and much more, it's easy to understand why France attracts so many AFS students.

Discover the elegance and charm of Parisian life while immersed in the language spoken by more than 100 million people. Learn and perfect your French with native professors.

Live with a local family and get into the rhythm of everyday life, sharing authentic French meals along with stories and traditions. Living in Paris and visiting as a tourist are two entirely different things. The Eiffel Tower becomes a mere backdrop to an authentic experience like no other. Spend your mornings in French class and your afternoons practicing your conversational skills in cafés, bookstores, markets, and museums. Catch the strains of jazz or traditional French folk played by street musicians along the way. Meander through the city’s village-like neighborhoods, window-shopping outside Bohemian boutiques, or head to one of its elegant parks for a picnic.
