France Semester High School Program – Spring Departure
An academic semester in France with AFS offers enough time to truly explore the richness of French culture. Improve your French skills while living with a host family and attending a local high school.
Get ready for a demanding (yet rewarding!) academic spring semester in France. The French “lycee” (high school) will probably deliver a heavier school load than you are used to. That being said, the quality of education is very high. A typical school day in France goes from 8:15am-5:00pm. School placement is determined largely by your known knowledge of French.
Your local chapter may organize activities throughout the semester, which may include AFS parties or excursions to other cities or regions in France. Also, over the course of your program, AFS staff and volunteers will meet with you to evaluate your experience and help with your cultural adjustment.

About France
There is more to France than just the city of Paris. Most host families live in small towns or villages and each region of France looks and feels different. You will have a chance to become immersed in the world-famous culture, from food, to architecture, philosophy and painting. The beautiful countryside stretches from the Atlantic to the Alps and from the English Channel to the Mediterranean Sea.
