The Teaching Centre runs English courses for both primary and secondary students from the age of 5 to 17 during the school holidays in October, February, April, June and July.
In October and June we offer courses for secondary students only.

What is special about these courses?

Our intensive holiday classes provide children with an enjoyable and positive English language learning experience as motivation is the key to all learning.  These courses offer immersion in an English-speaking environment in Paris and provide continuity for your child throughout these intense periods.  Each course includes sessions in our computer room in order to consolidate classroom-based learning.

Does my child need to take a placement test for a Holiday English Course?

It is not required to take a test before the course.

Secondary students are tested on the first morning of their course to ensure they are in the right class.

There is no test for primary aged children.
