    When you arrive, she will welcome you and act as your personal contact throughout your stay.

    Our teachers will be with you every step of the way. They are available to discuss your progress and the atmosphere in the classroom.
  • On the last day, students receive a certificate attesting to the level of the course taken during their stay. If you wish, we can also give them a placement test to confirm their level of French.
  • As a group leader, your group’s teacher will provide you with an educational file containing a report on the week’s activities and skills, as well as the documents used.

Other than the host family, there is always an alpha.b staff member to check that everything is going smoothly. (pick up by the host families is guaranteed on weekends between 8 am and 9 pm).
  • The departure transfer back to the airport or to the Nice train station is organized by bus or taxi.

TESTIMONIALS

Cela fait 10 années que je vais à alpha.b avec un groupe scolaire. Chaque fois que je viens je pense que c’est meilleure que l’année dernière. Je suis toujours très contente avec tout ! Merci pour tout !

Les leçons étaient très amusantes et notre professeur a toujours trouvé un bon équilibre entre la grammaire et l’orale. Les guides étaient fantastiques et les représentants des activités étaient si amicaux et accueillants avec nous. Ma mère d’accueil était si accueillante et attentionnée. Ça m’a fait très plaisir de vivre avec une famille d’accueil parce que toute la famille essayait à nous accueillir et ils parlaient aussi beaucoup de français avec nous !

Les cours étaient vraiment variés et accessibles à tous mes élèves. Delphine a discuté avec moi sur les thèmes et activités.

Les documents que l’école a fournis sont supers ! Mes élèves ont beaucoup aimé les cours. C’est également super que l’école se trouve à 5 minutes de l’hébergement.
