Camps options: which one is best suited to my child and his/her needs?
Formula F1 is reserved for day students whose parents live nearby and is intended for young students (6-8 years old) who do not wish to stay the whole day, and for students who are looking to make progress on a semi-intense pedagogical level, without any desire for sports or artistic activities. At the end of classes at 12:15 pm, parents can pick up their child.

French placement test
We use this French placement test to evaluate you in order to find the course that will be most beneficial. Please play the game and put away your phone or other help that would not allow a score that reflects your level. The test is structured in a way that it starts with easy questions for the level A1 and then it gets more and more difficult.
​
This means that you should stop doing the test when it gets difficult because it will only be more difficult. Just submit the questions you answered, without answering the ones that are too difficult.
Keep in mind that the purpose of this test is not to get the best score possible, but to determine your real level, so that your stay at our Summer Camps is the most beneficial for you. It’s not a problem if you are a complete beginner and you get stuck on the first question or two: there are many students who are complete beginners during our camps. So don’t be stressed when taking this test. We look forward to meeting you no matter what your level of French is 🙂 .
