Dreaming of studying in Paris while earning academic credit toward your degree? At our French-Paris language school, you can combine an unforgettable experience in one of the world’s most inspiring cities with high-quality French language instruction that may be recognised by your home university.

Whether you are planning to spend a semester abroad, attend a summer program, or simply take an intensive French course at any time of the year, French-Paris welcomes students from universities around the world. Many students have successfully received academic credit from their universities for French courses completed at our school. We are happy to assist you throughout the approval process by providing all the academic documentation your institution may require.

We Provide the Documentation Your University Needs

Before you begin your studies and after your French course at our school, your university may ask for information about the course you plan to take. Upon request, we can provide, before or after your French course:

• Detailed course syllabus
• Course objectives and curriculum
• Number of teaching hours
• Your French language level
• Assessment methods
• Teacher evaluation
• Attendance report
• Final examination results
• Official transcript with final grade

At the end of your course, we can also issue a comprehensive transcript to help your home university award academic credit.

How to Obtain Credit for Your French Course

The process is usually straightforward:

• Contact French-Paris and request the syllabus for the course you wish to attend.
• Contact your university’s Study Abroad Office, International Programs Office, Registrar, or French Department to learn about their credit approval procedure.
• Submit the course syllabus and any required forms for evaluation before your departure.
• Once your course is completed, provide your university with the official transcript and supporting documents supplied by French-Paris.

Since every university has its own policies, we strongly recommend obtaining approval before your course begins.

If you have any questions, our team will be pleased to help you throughout the process. Simply contact us.

Need French Credits During the Summer?

Many university students need to complete a French course during the summer to stay on track for graduation. Sometimes their home university does not offer summer French classes, or their timetable simply doesn’t fit with their personal plans.

Studying at our French language school is an excellent alternative. Instead of spending your summer in a traditional classroom at home, why not improve your French while living in Paris? You’ll earn valuable language skills, experience everyday French life, and, subject to your university’s approval, receive academic credit at the same time.

Why Choose French-Paris? Learn French in the Heart of Paris

There is no better place to learn French than in France itself. Every day, your classroom learning is reinforced by real-life communication in cafés, museums, shops, public transport, and throughout the city. Paris becomes an extension of your classroom.

A Teaching Method Focused on Real Communication

At French-Paris, our courses follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the internationally recognised standard for language teaching and assessment. Students are placed in classes according to their language level, allowing them to progress efficiently in a supportive learning environment.

Our communicative teaching approach develops all the essential language skills:

• Speaking
• Listening
• Reading
• Writing
• Grammar and vocabulary
• French culture and civilisation

Beyond language accuracy, our objective is to help students communicate naturally and confidently in real-life situations while developing a genuine understanding of contemporary French culture.

High Academic Standards

French-Paris places great importance on academic excellence. Our teaching philosophy is fully compatible with the rigorous standards promoted by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), ensuring that students develop practical communication skills while gaining a solid linguistic foundation.

No Hidden Costs

One advantage students particularly appreciate is our transparent pricing. Unlike many language schools, all pedagogical materials are included in the tuition fees. There are no expensive textbooks to purchase and no hidden teaching material costs. Everything you need for your course is provided by French-Paris from your first day of class.

Make Paris Part of Your Education

Studying French abroad is much more than earning academic credit. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the French language, discover one of Europe’s most fascinating capitals, meet students from around the world, and gain an international experience that will benefit both your academic and professional future.

Join the many university students who have already chosen French-Paris to improve their French while earning credits toward their degree. We look forward to welcoming you to Paris!
