CMEF, French Riviera: We are an international language school in Cap d´Ail near Monte Carlo with a long tradition on French language courses and teenage summer camps.
International Summer Program - Teenagers 13 - 17 years old The CMEF’s teenager programme is 20 years old! Since 1988, the CMEF has welcomed over 9000 teenagers during the summer period, aged between 13 and 17 years old and coming from around the world. Between mid-June and the end of August, the Centre accommodates about 500 teenagers - a limited number which allows us to pay special attention to each and every student. The programme favours intercultural exchanges between young people.
A global educational concept: * Learn French at your own pace and depending on your needs. * Choose from a variety of sports or cultural activities in the afternoon and various forms of entertainment in the evening. * Share your room with young people from other countries, respecting safety regulations and the rules of living amongst others.
The international context of the CMEF, providing the opportunity for teenagers to meet other international students, encourages open-mindedness and prepares adolescents for the future.
All the French lessons are compulsory, as is Saturday’s weekly excursion. However, all evening and afternoon activities are optional in order for students to benefit from their independence. Nevertheless, our team leaders’ role is to encourage the students to take part in a maximum number of activities.
Qualified staff is on site 24 hours a day. They handle all transfers to and from the centre as well as organising cultural and sports activities in the evening and supervise the dormitories, ensuring the well-being of the students.

The people we met from many areas of the world were wonderful. In just two weeks, my French improved and I gained a lot of confidence in speaking."
