SFYI offers semester and year-abroad programs in France as well as summer programs in France and other European and African countries. All of our programs include US accredited academics, language immersion, service learning, cultural studies, and extensive travel.

If you’re ready to get out into the world, experience the beauty and culture of France as an insider, not just a visitor, and become a confident world traveler, SFYI might be for you! SFYI students live an authentic French lifestyle in the centuries old Languedoc-Roussillon village of Villesèque des Corbières, where they learn French, make lifelong friends, earn high school or college credits, and travel extensively throughout France, Europe, and Africa. SFYI students are curious, ready for a change, and eager to explore the world in the company of a supportive group of friends and staff. If this sounds like you, contact us now for a brochure and application!
