Ketstone School The Traditional French Trip

The Unforgettable French Immersion Trip: A Tradition at Our School

As our middle school students embark on their annual French immersion trip to Antibes, France, from May 19-25, 2024, it’s a perfect moment to celebrate this cherished tradition. This trip is more than just a getaway—it’s a cornerstone of our educational philosophy and a testament to our commitment to immersive learning.

A Journey of Language and Culture

This trip marks the culmination of four years of dedicated French study for our students. By immersing themselves fully in the language, our goal is for students to speak daily French fluently. This trip is the pinnacle of their linguistic journey, offering real-world practice and invaluable cultural experiences.

Experiencing French Life in Antibes

Antibes, with its rich history and vibrant culture, provides the perfect backdrop for our students to put their language skills to the test. They get the chance to interact with locals, practice their French in everyday situations, and explore new cultural landscapes. These experiences go beyond the classroom, giving students a deeper understanding and appreciation of the French way of life.

Building Lifelong Memories and Friendships

This trip is not just about language and culture—it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime. Traveling with friends and teachers, students forge stronger bonds and build friendships that endure long after the trip ends. They share experiences that are unique and unforgettable, from exploring historic sites to enjoying local cuisine, making this trip a highlight of their school years.

Embracing New Horizons

At our school, we believe that immersive experiences are key to effective learning. The annual French immersion trip is a testament to this belief, providing students with the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and embrace new horizons. As our students return from Antibes, they bring back not just improved language skills, but also a broadened perspective and a treasure trove of memories.
