Lessons at our French Summer Camp

Lessons at Alpine French School are fun, educational and include lots of games, songs and opportunities to really use the language. Our dynamic teachers are passionate about captivating their students’ interest and making sure summer courses are a brilliant experience that children & teens will want to come back to!

Lessons take place in the morning Monday to Friday, morning or afternoon depending on the age group, with a 30 minute break. There’ll be project creations, games, discovery of relevant vocabulary & phrases that students will be able to use straight out of the classroom – it’s common for teachers to take their group out into the village to put their new skills into practice.

Students are placed in different groups depending on their age & level.

The objective of our Alpine French School Summer Courses is to complement what students have learnt during their school year, and to offer another approach to French. We aim to boost their confidence and have a go at the practice, in an environment which focuses on positive and fun rather than grades! We also truly believe that learning a foreign language is a brilliant thing to do, and try our best to pass on our love of French to our juniors.

I have had several courses of lessons with Alpine French School in the last three years and can highly recommend them. I was virtually a beginner when I moved to the Morzine area and can now get by quite comfortably running my business and dealing with every day life in France. Helen has always been incredibly helpful and organised my yearly training budget so that I receive my lessons for free. The teachers have been great too, I have only had one week of lessons with Debs but she was fantastic. I have had all of my recent lessons with Christelle and she is brilliant. She is good at reading the class and tailoring the lessons accordingly. I have had a mixture of intensive courses, group and private lessons and all have been very beneficial. The weekly conversational classes are great too just to keep up the practise in a positive learning environment. I’m looking forward to starting up with lessons again soon!

I had lessons with Alpine French School and enjoyed every minute. It was both challenging and rewarding and I would recommend it to anyone, even if you are a fairly fluent French speaker already. The Alpine French School staff helped organise all the funding too so the whole process was hassle free from start to finish

I enjoyed everything about the course! The structure of the week was really good. Day on day developing what you had done the day before and building from there. A great learning experience and never felt like it was too much. The teacher was fantastic!

“Great structured lessons”

- John Taylor

“I am sad to have to stop my lessons – this is a very first for me and this is a glowing testament to our teacher who inspires confidence and makes the otherwise daunting subject of French grammar seem far less so. She brought boundless energy and above all fun to the lessons. Also she was flexible in keeping the subject varied and interest levels high”

- Russell Parsons

L’été était parfait pour moi à Morzine! Les leçons étaient très bien et je pense que j’ai fait des progrès! Et pour moi aussi l’organisation était super, merci pour tous! Je ne vais pas oublier cet été à Morzine. On se voit bientôt, je reviens en Janvier pour skier :)

Thank you for the week’s intensive French Courses. Tricia and I really enjoyed our weeks and both of us thought that our tutor was excellent. We look forward to booking some further lessons when we can.
