Vivre Sans Frontières 2008

A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER

Des Vacances Intelligentes …
It is by opening our minds and senses to the world that we may better understand ourselves and those around us. Learning a language provides a pathway to this end but only by experience are we afforded true understanding.

Le Voyage Ouvre l'Esprit
Our goal is to take each child on a voyage of personal discovery. We’ve tried to find the perfect settings for this unique learning experience, designed to spark a child’s interest in developing a deeper knowledge of France, its language and culture.
Immersion is the key. Sitting passively in a classroom abroad does not enhance language learning, in fact the opposite occurs, children tend to group together and speak their native language (English, Spanish…) instead of French. Our efforts are limited by time, yet our program’s intensity offsets its brevity. By emphasizing having fun while speaking French in natural, everyday living situations, we allow each child to progress at his or her own pace without pressure.

Vivre Sans Frontières…
Any young person, child or teenager, is an adult in formation.
All dimensions of its being are in evolution: his body, his heart, his mind, he is learning to relate to others and to the world…Physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, children 6 to 17 years old are constantly growing …it is for this reason that we want to offer them a Fun and Educational summer program. Through our theme camp programs, children live a true adventure, they are part of a story, a real mission that truly gives direction to their holiday. Your child must be the hero of his adventure!.
Art and culture, sports and adventure, science and nature, horseback riding and discovery, music halls and Medieval shows are all part of this wonderful project for him to live and experience.
Our program helps children master their body, own new places, discover history, express talents and become fluent in French. It stimulates their imagination, they learn to live with others, and take home unforgettable memories and friendships that last a lifetime!

Through our Programs we set our standards, and it is because we have these standards and the same concerns for our children as you have for yours, that we dedicate ourselves to making a difference in their lives.
