About Our Students                                    

 

Many people unfamiliar with Coeur de France want to know what kind of environment they're going to be in.

Feedback from students indicates they appreciate our personalized high quality instruction, our beautiful wine country location, and the flexibility our manageable size allows us -- 4 teachers teaching Group classes limited to 7 students, One to One individual  instruction courses for adults and children, our special Family & Couples programs and our special 2 week tuition + accommodations packages . Also highly rated are our relevant and fun cultural excursions (optional) which are proposed daily to help students put into immediate practice concepts they have learned in class. Add to this our French Home Cooking class and Intro Wine Course and you can begin to see the difference that is Coeur de France!

Student feedback also shows that our high quality accommodations are much appreciated, especially the luxury studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments located at the school.

"Who are Coeur de France students?" They're adults (except for the Family Program) who come to seriously study French in a relaxed and fun environment. Some come to study for their job, others come simply for the love of the language. Still others come just to try a new and different kind of vacation holiday.
"What's the average age?" All are adults, 16 or above, except for the children who come with their families for the special Family Program. The age range is between 16 to 75 with most being between 35 and 55 years-old. However, statistics (as usual) don't really tell the whole story. We have many retired students as well as some fourth year university students. No matter your age, you're sure to fit in.

"From where do they come?" Most are from North America and the UK. Australia and New Zealand are also well represented. The rest come from Europe and some from Asia and Africa. 

"How long do they stay?" The average stay is from 2 to 4 weeks, but many students stay up to 2 or 3 months. Others with more limited time may stay only 1 week.
