Students can expect to be challenged in a supported environment. A set of  notes will be provided for students attending the summer academy. These will be of great use to students when preparing for exams at a High Level. As a result students would be expected to speak as much French as possible in class time in order to maximize exposure to the language.. The duration of each French language class is 2 hours & the maximum number of students per class is 16.

Level:
The Academy offers an "ordinary" and "higher" level course. Groups will be streamed according t an assesment upon their arrival at the camp. Previous examination results may also be taken into account.

Syllabus:
The course is organised around modules, each focusing on one topic, and promotes communicative proficiency, language awareness and cultural awareness.

Safety:
At the Academy, we are proud to go the extra mile in terms of safety. We believe that safety is paramount. The team is comprised of fully qualified and experienced  instructors. We ensure that a ratio of one instructor to eight pupils is strictly observed. In addition a lifeguard will be on duty at surf lessons. The team is familiar with local conditions and observes the safety guidelines prescribed by the International Surf Association.

Level:
At the Academy, we welcome beginners and intermediate/ advanced camp goers in their sport. We aim to create a fun and safe environment for newcomers to enjoy learning. For intermediate/ advanced  camp goers we aim to create the same fun and safe environment required for you to progress your skills with instruction from world class surfers and hockey coaches.
