The Holiday Language Program is available to all students from ISP and elsewhere from ages 3 to 18. As a language extension program of the School, the course will offer an exciting, high-quality learning experience that is unique in France.

The Holiday Language Program has as its mission to motivate students to learn French or English with a fun and interactive program. The dedicated, motivating and professional teachers strive to build confidence and self-esteem in each child.

There are two course options:

The Classic Option

combines half-day language classes and half-day sports, arts activities and field trips.
is based on more academic curriculum.
includes varied activities with a different afternoon each day.
offers English and French workshops adapted to students' ages and levels.
focuses on active oral activities such as role-play, games, and oral presentations on varied themes (music, art, literature, history etc.) to encourage spontaneous use of the language.
provides a contextual consolidation of grammar skills and vocabulary, as well as an exploration of the written language to increase cultural understanding.

The Project-Based Option

is a new and unique way to learn languages.
is organized around specific projects which are celebrated at the end of the course through shows, open houses and exhibitions.
links all language learning directly to the project, with all activities aiming at improving language skills.
is proposed in one Project-Based Session week per age group, according to demand.

Examples of such projects, and the appropriate age group, are:

Circus Project (3-5 years)
Drama Project (6-10 years)

The goal of HLP is to create a unique atmosphere in which the children will build on their language skills, learning French or English within the context of a serious curriculum in a fun and interactive way.
