Two spaces have just come available for Southern France Youth Institute's short-term semester March 14 to June 9. Two of our older students have petitioned to share an apartment in the village, thus opening up space for two additional students to enroll.

This program allows students to complete a minimum of a full semester of French and Art, as well as, one to two other core academic courses. Students will arrive just in time to join the group for an amazing two-week academic trip through Spain and Morocco. In addition, they will participate in an exciting eight-day trip to Italy at the end of the semester.

Each semester is packed with strong academics, incredible travel, guest lecturers, and extracurricular activities. Our short-term semester is no exception. We'll tour museums and galleries, visit exciting cities, shop local markets, discover ancient arts, visit local artisans, and learn firsthand the traditions of the French wine harvest…our agenda is quite full!

For more information, please contact me at (877) 997-7680. I will look forward to sharing more details about the program and our nonstop adventures in Europe.
