A variety of language programs makes it easy to choose the right course. The choice depends on the preferences of those who want to learn French, the level of their knowledge and financial capabilities.

• The most popular program is the standard course, which implies studying a language at a basic level. Students with insufficient language proficiency can study at these courses. The standard language program takes 15 academic hours in a group of 10 people. The number of academic studies at the request of the client can be increased. Individual classes are also provided.
• The “French +” courses, combining language courses with winter sports, are considered quite prestigious.
• Those who want to receive the whole package of services can choose the popular All Inclusive program, which offers language preparation, accommodation, food, sports, cultural and entertainment events.
• Separately, you can order individual lessons with a teacher or instructor, a special diet, and accommodation in a hotel.

The duration of courses in various language programs is from 1 to 3 weeks.

As a rule, for foreign students, the camp provides a wide selection of places and staying conditions. A child who has arrived with his parents can live with them outside the camp: in a hotel or in a rented apartment. Often, preference is given to living in a residence on the camp, especially if the child visits France without parents. Adult course participants can also live in the winter camp, but more often they choose to stay in a hotel or a separate apartment. French families are happy to take lodgers to stay - in this case, a student gets an opportunity to get acquainted with the life of the French family and its customs.

The cost of a language course depends on the location of the school in France, its prestige, the choice of a language course, living conditions, nutritional features and a package of additional services. A standard All-Inclusive training program usually costs between 800 and 1,400 euros per week. Winter program “French + Sport”, that takes one week, will cost from 1800 euros to 2300 euros per week.
