Academic Program The concept of the Paris Intensive Junior Residence Program is full immersion. This means that students are encouraged by staff to speak French at all times: during classes, during meals, on excursions and during activities. At 32 lessons per week, the program is highly intensive, but fun! Students are divided into two age groupings: junior 10-14 and senior 15-19. Both junior and senior students have a 4 day per week academic schedule that consists of 8 x 45 minute lessons on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 9:00 AM and 4:45 PM. The lesson breakdown is as follows:
On the first day of class, students are given a comprehensive assessment to determine their level placement. All levels are offered from beginner to advanced and each class has a maximum of 10 students, with an average of 6 to 7 students at the same level. View our sample schedule for more information. Cultural & Activity Program Each week students enjoy a full program of cultural activities and excursions as well as sports and leisure activities, both on campus and off. Full-day excursions to places of interest in and around Paris take place every Wednesday and Sunday and every Saturday is a day reserved for sports or leisure activities including on-campus swimming or soccer and shopping or sightseeing in Paris.
