French & Activities Montpellier

You will be met on arrival by your French host and brought straight to your accommodation. Please be sure to email at least 2 weeks prior to departure to confirm your flight details. You will see your name on a board as you come through Arrivals. We will also give you an emergency telephone number for the school which you should call in the event that your flight is delayed.

Depending on where your French host is situated, the school can be within walking distance or a short bus or tram journey from the school (max 40 minutes). You will be shown to your school on the first morning and you can arrange to purchase a local travel pass through your French host.

You will complete an online level test prior to your arrival and you will be placed in a class with other students of the same level. Your level will be monitored during the course and if you feel your class is too easy or too difficult then you should speak with your teacher or let us know and the Director of Studies will see if it’s possible to move you to a different class. Everyone at the school is very approachable and once you let someone know they will make sure that the move is as quick and smooth as possible for you.

It includes your accommodation, breakfast, Lunch and evening meal.

Rooms are twin sharing rooms which can be great if you are travelling with a friend.

Your accommodation details are confirmed as soon as we receive them from our partner school. This is usually 1-2 weeks prior to departure but can sometimes be much sooner. At the same time you will also receive our pre-departure information with all your school details and emergency contact numbers for your stay.

Special dietary requirements can be catered to for a supplement of €35 per week. There is no added supplement for vegetarians. Let us know at the time of the booking.

You can book online or over the phone – whichever is easiest. Once the form is complete all you need to do to secure your booking is to pay a deposit of €200. It usually takes 1-2 days before your booking is confirmed and the final balance is due 4 weeks prior to departure. You can pay either by card, bank transfer or cheque. Please note, do not book flights until your enrolment has been confirmed by Tribe Study Abroad.

As we are not a travel agency, we don’t book flights. However, we can advise on which flights would be suitable so please email or give us a call and we would be happy to talk you through it. Please note, do not book flights until your enrolment has been confirmed by Tribe Study Abroad.

Students who are minors (under 18) are required to have a signed parental permission form if they wish to go out in the evenings. Parents must indicate a curfew time (latest 11 pm). For more information contact our office at 00 353 121 433 14 or through our Contact Us page.

The minimum age students can attend throughout the year is 16+. During the summer months, this is reduced to 14+. The age range outside the summer months is on average 20-28 years old.

All students are expected to be active in their courses. This includes a certain amount of homework –i.e. preparing vocab for the next day or a written piece based on what you have learned in class that day. Homework will be corrected and given back as this helps you track your progress. However, the amount of homework given will not affect your time for leisure and activities – plenty of time for ice-cream in the sun!

Yes, of course. The accommodation is based on twin room sharing and you can request to share with a friend but we recommend that the students live with different French hosts as it is one of the better ways to fully immerse yourself in the language and improve your French. There is plenty of time at school to see one another where you can go for lunch and take part in different activities or simply relax with your friends.
