Summer in Paris

Program Information

Spend your summer studying French and fine arts in Paris! On the Summer in Paris program, you’ll hone your painting or photography skills, improve your French, and live in the heart of this amazing city.

Turn Paris into your classroom for 4 weeks this summer! Admire the innovative construction of Notre Dame, sit and read in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, and practice your French by ordering a morning baguette on your way to class. Summer in Paris is well-recognized for its training of art experts and professionals and managers in cultural administration.

Paris – What can we say? Fountains, fashion, cafés, croissants . . . Paris has something for everyone, but especially art-lovers and budding artists.

Learning in and out of the classroom – A great part of Summer in Paris is learning both in and out of the classroom. You won’t just read about a painting in class, you’ll go see it in person and really understand the artist’s perspective.

Two excursions included – Just in case living in Paris isn’t enough for the summer, we’re also including 2 excursions as well as multiple visits to local museums and art galleries.
