Testimonials from our students
Lauren
THE BEST FRENCH LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN PARIS!
I can’t say enough good things about this school. The teachers and staff are simply fantastic and have truly created a community culture and a relaxed learning environment. The way the courses are taught, in my opinion, allows you to develop all the skills in the French language: speaking, reading, writing, and more!
I spent several months taking classes with them and I can honestly say it changed my life here in France (I get emotional just thinking about my time there and I want to go back to take more classes). The teachers really gave me confidence, and I was able to reach a level that allowed me to apply for jobs in French — which was HUGE for me, as I plan to stay in France permanently.
If you need to learn French, this is the school for you! (September)
Sutedjo
Hello everyone. I spent three weeks at the Ecole Suisse Internationale learning French last September. It was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had learning a language. All the teachers are wonderful and excellent at teaching French.
I’ve taken a few French courses before, and the instruction I received at this school was far superior to all the other schools I’ve attended. Most importantly, the school provided me with an excellent learning environment and made learning French — such a difficult language — much easier to understand and a lot of fun.
The three weeks flew by. I highly recommend the Ecole Suisse Internationale to anyone who wants to learn French in Paris, at any level. You won’t regret — or ever forget — this experience. (November 2023)
Luan
Taking classes at the École Suisse was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In just four weeks, I significantly improved my French thanks to the help of a brilliant team. Every member of the team has unique life stories and interests, and they all share several qualities: they are kind, intelligent, polite, curious, and empathetic.
Each day, this team gives their very best to every one of their students. Beyond creating amazing experiences, the results are real — in just one month of classes, I learned more than I had in a year of studying in my home country.
I highly recommend it — and I will definitely be back, just like many of the students I met there! (May 2024)
