Chamonix Alumni Newsletter January 2025

Welcome to AFS Alumni

Dear student, Happy New Year 2025!
 

Since 1999, INSTED has welcomed many of you to our language school in Chamonix.  Some of you have travelled from far away to spend a season in the French Alps and some of you have joined us locally.
 

With the merger of our sister school in Morzine and our Chamonix school, we have chosen to offer our students French lessons under the name of Alpine French School.  At the same time we have separated our ‘Formation Professionnelle’ offers to be able to provide local businesses with what they need in terms of improving various aspects of the language learning journey to suit individual company needs.
 

We are now offering our Chamonix Alumni students a voucher of 100 euros to use towards any 2025 language course, either in-person or online!  For employers and local businesses, our offers can also be applied to our English, Italian and Spanish courses.
 

How to use your Alumni voucher?

Simply use the code INSTED25 when booking your next online or in-person course, and you’ll get 100 EUR off your total course fee.  Please note that your voucher can be used for any weekly group intensive course or evening course and for packages of a minimum of 10 private lessons.
 

We are happy to see you back with us and hope to challenge and help you to improve your language skills during 2025.
 

Bienvenue!
