Located at an altitude of 1.113 m in a preserved mountain setting in the heart of the French Alps, Megève is a charming village. With its typical mountain architecture, Megève is internationally known as the place where the “fuseau” ski trousers were invented in 1930 by Allard.Not only is Megève well equipped for sport, offering a large choice of mountain activities, but is also home to a classical music festival and a jazz contest in the summer, which everyone can enjoy. There is even a horse show and an old car rally! The sorroundings offer marvellous walks following tracks, animal footprints, or watching clouds chasing each other across the sky... Megève is ideal for outdoor holidays and fresh air.

The School

The school is situated right in the centre of the village, close the antique shops, opposite the students’ campus. Two programs are organised at the same time: Practice English and practicing French. Students are either English speakers and French speakers and gather for sporting and entertaining activities. Thus, they create a good way of communicating through several languages which is the originality of our formula.English lessons begin in the morning with the possibility of preparing the University of Cambridge and the Alliance francaise exams according to the students levels. Soo that the students can get to know France an imaginary trip from Paris to Marseilles is organised, leading the students from town to town across the country. To help practice the language, the students write a play, helped by teachers and staff, where everyone can play a self-valorising and amusing part. The teachers are experienced with youngsters and their motivation guarantees the success of our programme.
