The Chantemerle difference
More than a language course
At Chantemerle, language learning happens inside a real international environment. Small groups, native-level teachers, and a daily life shared with students from over 30 countries. The language becomes a tool, not a subject, from the very first day.
Morning classes cover grammar, conversation and real-world communication in small groups of maximum 12 students. Afternoons and evenings extend the learning into daily life, activities, sports, excursions and shared meals with an international peer group. Language progress at Chantemerle is measurable because immersion is constant, not limited to the classroom.
- English or French, all levels
- Small groups, maximum 12 students
- Native-level teachers
- Morning classes, 5 days a week
- Certificate available on request

Classes are capped at 12 students, grouped by level. Every participant is assessed at the start of the session and placed in the right group. Teachers adapt to the group and to each individual, with a focus on spoken fluency, comprehension and practical written communication.
