French Immersion in Nice School Trips
Visions In Education
Our partner language school, Alpha B, is ideally located in the city centre and within walking distance of the trin station. From here school groups can take the train to explore nearby Antibes and Monte Carlo for an afternoon excursion. French lessons are delivered in closed groups. The content of the French lessons are designed to meet your curriculum requirements. Outside of lessons, your students will take part in a guided walking tour of Nice, organised by the language school, and delivered in French.Our French Language school tour to Nice is perfect for KS3, GCSE students and A-Level students looking to immerse themselves in the French language and culture. Our partner language school has a long history of offering French A-Level revision courses.
French lessons normally take place in the morning allowing time in the afternoons to explore the flower market, the Castle, or take the bus to Eze Village an take a tour of the Fragonard Parfumerie.
Accommodation is offered with carefully selected host families, all of whom have clean police records. Students are normally placed in pairs so that they can travel to and from the language school together.
Host families are carefully chosen by Alpha B’s accommodation manager and are used over and over again for UK school groups. Staying with a host family will allow students to discover French lifestyle and practice the French language outside of the classroom.
The accommodation manager in Nice visits host families on a regular basis to ensure that all aspects of the host family’s accommodation are in good working order. They ensure that students and host families are a good match. Students with special dietary or other requirements can let us know, and we will communicate this to the team in Rouen to help match them with the appropriate host family.

Anything else?

We put the group leader in direct contact with the Director of Teaching at our partner language school so that they can discuss lesson content and the level of the students before they arrive. In class, students will experience lots of speaking and oral communication exercises. Language lessons are delivered in closed groups and if there is more than one age group or language level then a number of groups can be formed.
Who are Visions In Education?
Our total immersion language school tours are designed to totally immerse secondary school students in the target language for the duration of the trip. Students return from this tour with an increased confidence to communicate in the language having immersed themselves in the target language even for a short space of time.
Your students will attend French or Spanish lessons at one our partner language schools where only the target language is spoken.
After lessons students participate in guided walking tours, cookery lessons or dance lessons all delivered in the target language.
To complete the total immersion epxpereince students have the opportunity to stay with a host family or in some locations such as Nice, Grananda and Benalmadena, hostel and hotel accommodation can be arranged.
We offer destinations largely untouched by mass tourism such as Montpellier, Rouen and Salamanca.
