Middle School Language Immersion: France

Immerse yourself in everyday French life in this language study program for middle school students. Begin in a charming seaside town in Normandy, then explore the magnificent cultural and historical sites of Paris before traveling to Montpellier for a homestay with a family in a community that has welcomed Putney students for decades. Cap off your journey in an idyllic village on the sun-drenched Atlantic coast near Bordeaux. Take a language pledge to speak in French and participate in field-based language lessons that are dynamic, fun, and designed to empower you to speak and live like a local. Visit markets and cafés, interview locals, and discuss works of art. Spend five days living with a local family and witness your language skills improve as you bond with your French sibling.
