FRENCH PROGRAM/PARIS TRIP

FRENCH PROGRAM

Although it is not necessary to speak any French to attend Acting Abroad, students who do speak French or would like to learn some French can enroll in our French Program.

The French Program is a one-on-one program that is tailored to each students individual level. Our resident French tutor combines written exercises, reading assignments and oral exercises to help each student further develop their French language skills.

French Program students come together to form a special French Drama Troupe and present an evening of work from some of the great French playwrights including Racine, Ionesco, Anouilh and Sartre.

PARIS EXTENSION TRIP

The perfect finale to a summer in France, our new Paris Extension Program is an optional three day trip to the legendary “City of Lights”.

We take in all the major sites including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Pantheon and many more. Our group stays at the MIJE, a student residence located in the Marais district, in the heart of Paris.

The group enjoys meals at a variety of French restaurants and cafes and a Seine Cruise on the final evening.
