Student Testimonial: "I highly recommend the ECI program. It’s a real taste of French living away from tourism. The teachers were fantastic. Very understanding, very patient, and very knowledgeable. Our chaperones were very friendly, professional, and great to be around. They were eager to teach and help you get the most of your experience. I couldn’t have asked for better trip leaders." - Anastasia
Parent Testimonial: "Lucy had a great time with her family in Gap. They were very welcoming and she loved all the games and outings that they did. She feels like her French really improved and I think that she is a lot more comfortable with it, so we are very happy about it in every way!" - Rebecca
