HOW CAN I APPLY?

Your completed prep classes form must be sent to S.C.C.E together with your Application Kit.
• Attending prep classes allows you to indicate preferences for the location of the language school, and hence your host family, in France – however please note preferences for particular locations cannot be guaranteed as primary consideration is always given to allocating the student to the most appropriate family.
• You host family will remain the same during prep classes and the remainder of your program.

"I have gained more than I ever imagined. I can speak another language, am more self-confident, have made friends. "When people ask me whether it was what I expected, I answer in all confidence that it wasn’t better, it wasn’t worse, it was just different, and I would not have had it any other way.” John Ayton from Tamworth, N.S.W. to Champtoceaux, France.
