With our Cultural Programmes we aim to maximise the time you have at your chosen destination with excursions to sights and attractions which are educational but with an added element of fun. Our programmes include the main attractions in every destination together with sightseeing tours and visits. Watch students grow in confidence with their French language skills as they develop through interacting and listening.

This programme is a combination of a Cultural Homestay programme with the added bonus of closed language tuition by native teachers. Based on a minimum of 24 students, the lessons can be planned according to the particular needs and requirements of your group. Tuition will take place in the mornings and lasts between 2 - 3 hours per day. Of course you may specify what you would like your group to study and how many hours of lessons you require.

FOR STUDENTS 16+ YEARS OLD This programme enables ‘A’ Level students, who are proficient in the French language, to practise their language skills in the workplace. Ardmore Educational Travel has close links with a wide variety of businesses through our partners in France. We can place students to many different industry sectors, such as; Tourism, Hospitality, Catering, Administration, Retail, Leisure and Working with Children. This is the perfect way to get a taste of the professions while improving their language skills.

Our School Integration option gives English pupils the opportunity to experience a typical school day of a French teenager and to get an introduction to the French School system. It's also a great way to practise their language and social skills.
The pupils sit in different classes and participate in the lesson. According to the group size and the programme location, pupils may be spread over several schools within the homestay area.

For those group leaders who prefer to travel with a smaller group – why not consider travelling to Paris by Eurostar?
You will travel directly from London St Pancras to Paris, with a travelling time of only 2.5 hours. This superbly efficient way offers your group the maximum time possible to explore this vibrant city. Once at the destination, you will travel by public transport that enables you to spend the days soaking up the atmosphere. Moreover,  with excursions included in your programme, it gives you, as a group leader, more time to enjoy everything this city has to offer.

Why not join forces with another department from your school to maximise the benefit you and your students will gain from a Cross Curricular programme? No need for two field trips, which makes it much more economical as there will be a larger number of students travelling. Besides our selection of sample programmes,  Ardmore Educational Travel can create bespoke programmes to suit your requirements and give you a personalised quotation based on your needs.
We can also offer Cross Curricular programmes in other countries, including, Dance in Spain, Media in Spain and History in Germany. Please contact our office to discuss this further.
