"It was great fun, but one week is too short, my learning experience was too small"

Moritz Lindlbauer, student from Austria

I liked a lot the location and the kind of class. The teacher was very nice and friendly. The first day activity a walk through Antibes was also a good opportunity to get to know the others.

Unfortunately I my expectations about my French learning were not fulfilled but it was funny. My classification was too low.

"It's great to meet so many guys from all over the world but I haven't learned French"

Paola Berizzi, student from Switzerland

I enjoyed meeting friends from all over the world.
I did not like the teaching of the French language which was not very engaging and honestly did not help me.
Didn't like the really low quality canteen.
The classes and the location were fine and were within expectations.

"A place were you experience interesting and new things."

Janna Bloemberg, student from Switzerland

Well, the Animateurs were great. They were young, funny, were always really nice and happy. Most of the professors were really nice to. I didn‘t really learn something new, I mostly just had a repetition of my knowledge. The school was big and had enough space for everyone. The location was okay. The individual activities were very good, but mostly a little short. The housing of my host family was okay. I slept two weeks with always one other girl. The space was not that big but since we were not there most of the time it was okay. The food was excellent! I was really happy that I could eat so good after a lunch in the cafeteria that wasn‘t great. The only things that I didn‘t line were the food on campus, the outgoing times and the hot classrooms.

Housing

CIA offers the following housing types:
homestay

Included
weekly
Age range: 13 - 17 years old
Location: In the city center of Antibes

Our students are accommodated within the same city as the school. We do our best to ensure the school is within walking distance.

However some students have to use local buses, particularly during the busy summer period (max. 30 min.)

THE ROOM
Our students may be accommodated in twin or triple room. If they share a room, we do our best to place them with other students of a similar age but of a different mother tongue (please note that during certain periods, this may be very difficult to guarantee).

MEALS
Junior students have the full board: breakfast and dinner take place every day in their host family except one evening during the week when a BBQ or a “crêpes-party” is organised at school by our youth leaders. At the end of the evening, students will be accompanied to their host families by our youth leaders.
Lunch takes place at school from Monday to Friday. Packet lunches are provided at the week-end.

On going out permission days, students over 16 may prefer to have dinner with friends in town: in that case they have to inform their host family a day in advance.
