Homestay Programs > Junior Homestay in FranceI've realized that I have a very strong connection with France. Her culture. Language and food I love. It was very sad to say goodbye to my host family, as living with them under their customs has changed my life! At home, I have taught my parents to cook ratatouille, haricots verts avec herbes de Provence, and oeufs a la coque. They love it.

Homestay Programs > Junior Homestay in FranceI lived in Montmarault with the Bonnets. They were very kind from the first moment I arrived. Their house was beautiful and they had horses. I learned to ride with them. We went to the town market every Saturday and I met the family's friends. We hung out with my host siblings friends as well. I keep in touch with them and I hope they come to see me in Florida very soon. Florida and Montmarault are very different but my host family made this cultural exchange very pleasant.

When my daughter Riley turned 10, we wanted her to have a summer experience abroad to learn French. Nacel recommended that we postpone the project because she was still very young and did not know French at all. We enrolled her in French courses so that she would be ready for this program in 2019. This summer, my daughter was accepted into the program because she was already 13 years old and had an A2-B1 level of French. Her family was very kind to her and I am very grateful to them. She had fun in France. Estelle taught my daughter how to cook some nice and easy salads. I am very happy with Nacel's service and professionalism. If in the future, my daughter feels ready to do a school exchange in France, I will contact Nacel because we are like family.
High School Abroad > High School exchange in MadridBefore my student exchange in Madrid, I was in Madrid twice with my parents. Those trips helped my parents to feel confident about my studying abroad project. Madrid is awesome! It’s a brilliant city, where art, music and good food complement each other well. It's the capital of Spain, but the school district is safe. Spanish people are very welcoming. I have felt at home since the first day.

High School Abroad > High School exchange in MadridMy grandparents were Spanish. I never met them, but I've always been interested in Spanish culture. Studying in Madrid is the best option to improve your Spanish. What I like about Madrid is its big parks and shops. There are very nice clothes and accessory shops. I would like to study fashion at the university afterwards. My host sister also wants to study fashion so we understand each other very well.
High School Abroad > High School exchange in MadridI have studied Spanish for many years in my school. To be studying in Spain for a year, the cradle of Spanish, is a dream for me. Spanish is a very beautiful language and many people can speak español.

Summer Camps > Dance summer camp in FranceWe're participating with my cousin in the summer of 2019. We slept in the same room and met a lot of friends.
Summer Camps > Dance summer camp in FranceThe campus in Mâcon is huge. There are dormitories, classrooms, cafeteria, vending machines. Everyone speaks French. That encourage me to speak French too. When I sometimes felt shy to speak French, my friends encouraged me to speak and it was okay if I made a mistake. At least, dancing is a universal language.

I made a lot of friends at dance camp and other sports, football, basketball. It was a nice few weeks in France and I hope to return soon.

Nacel, since we contacted them about these summer camps in France.. they have been very kind to us. They organized a supervised transfer for Sebastian and made sure he felt comfortable at this soccer camp. Sebastian had a great time playing football, his passion. With his father we are happy with Nacel's services.
High School Abroad > High School Exchange program in FranceWe talked to our daugther yesterday and she was so happy! She loves it in Rodez-the town, the school, the school staff and the Nacel staff. She also said she has girls to sit with at lunch and that everyone has been so nice to her. She also said that she is speaking French more and her understanding gets better every day. The experience she is having now is what she expected from the program so I think this is a good match for her.
Thank you again for all you and the team have done to help with this transition
High School Abroad > High school exchange in RussiaI've been studying Russian since I was a girl. At last I have been able to put it into practice. I hope to be able to return to Russia in the future to continue practicing it.

High School Abroad > High School Exchange program in FranceWe are overwhelmed with the hospitality and kindness everyone including those in Nacel and, of course, the entire family has shown Hannah over these last months. It is our feeling that Hannah really does love her host family and all the opportunities they have created for her and we believe that Hannah is gaining tangible and immediate benefits from this experience not only by improving her French but by learning about herself including her strengths and weaknesses.

Summer Camps > French and Sports summer camp in FranceI loved the riding camp! The horses were super well cared for and the trainers were very kind.
Summer Camps > French and Sports summer camp in FranceMy parents came with me and dropped me off at tennis camp. The first few minutes I felt very sad. But when I got to my room and met Marie, everything changed. I will always be grateful for her kindness. The camp director was also very attentive to me and the other international students in the French courses. The courses were in groups. The French teacher was very kind, attentive and patient. Days at the camp go by very quickly! Next week is my second week at camp and I don't want to leave!
Language School > English school in LondonI love my course! Really got to know London and my English really improved. I made many friends. I will really miss London. Many thanks to everybody
Summer Camps > French Courses in Paris: course, visits, activities and fun!I'll never forget the good times during this programme. I met many new friends of different nationalities in the courses. We all got along very well from the beginning. We had many things in common, such as learning French, getting to know Paris and coming to study in France in the near future. The teacher was very kind and the residence where we stayed was clean and comfortable.
Summer Camps > Teen German Course in Germany (Wiesbaden)It's been a really nice experience. It's not the first time I've participated in a summer camp, but it's the first time I've gone abroad. I really want to come back next year!

My daughter Claudia had a lot of fun at the German camp. She met new friends and the host family was very kind with her. I was in contact with them. She left with a very basic German and now she is saying a few phrases at home. Thank you very much for your assistance.
High School Abroad > Paris Boarding SchoolThe boarding school in Paris is in good condition and the teachers are very attentive. For my first exchange, I did well. When you are motivated, anything is possible! Walking around Paris almost every weekend has been a real dream!! There are monuments worth visiting such as the Louvre, Orsay..well.. all museums , the famous Eiffel tower (it's huge), the Champs elysées. My favorite place is and will always be: Montmartre!
Great summer camp for teens in Germany. I definitely recommend it!
High School Abroad > High School Exchange in ItalyThank you very much for all your help. I've been to a high school in the south of Italy for a quarter and it's been wonderful! At first, it was difficult to adapt because my Italian was not so perfect. Now I feel very comfortable speaking Italian and singing songs in Italian! I love opera and the arts and having lived in Italy for a while has been a dream come true!
High School Abroad > High School Exchange in the USA (J-1)During my semester in the U.S.A, I was constantly surrounded by friendly people; from my host family, teachers to classmates. I would definetely recommend this program to anyone who is seeking for personal growth and development, adventures, fun and lifelong friendships!
High School Abroad > High School exchange in MadridI feel like I'm doing all my best during this High school exchange in Madrid program. I study every day after school and do my homework. If I don't understand something, I know the Ramirez can help me or my teachers at school. I prefer to study all week so I have free time on weekends for my hobbies: skateboarding, shopping with my friends and spending time with my host family. I love going out with them. They always know where to eat well or find books at good prices.

High School Abroad > High School Exchange program in FranceStudying in France is the best! The Nacel team is very close to you and you are always listening. I had a lot of support from my local coordinator, Amelie! The advice I could give to students interested in doing a school exchange in France is to make the most of their time! It doesn't matter if you don't speak French very well, the important thing is that you try and don't watch videos or listen to the radio of your country of origin.

Language School > French School in MontpellierMontpellier is an adorable city! I've fallen in love with la place de la comedie! My friend likes me too! We went three weeks to improve our French and to change some airs. The Bélanger family treated us very well and the room was clean and welcoming. I highly recommend this program if you are looking for French courses with accommodation at an affordable price.

Summer Camps > Tennis summer camp in FranceI loved it! The facilities were clean and good! I felt very comfortable playing tennis with French girls and boys. I had never met many French before. So it was a nice experience. Everyone was very nice to me. I learned new phrases like: J'arrive, je mange là, je t'aime ma copine!
Summer Camps > Basketball summer camp in FranceI went with my friend Pau to the camps in France and we had fun together. The guys on the team were very nice to us and when we asked them to speak more slowly, they did it. We hope to come back next summer in July and see the same kids again, but if we meet other kids, that's okay too.
High School Abroad > South of France Boarding schoolStudying in France was the best thing that ever happened to me! The food, the people, the architecture is great. Thank you very much Nacel for accepting me into your school exchange program. The boarding school is spectacular for those who want to concentrate well on their studies. At first, if you don't have very good French (like mine when I arrived) you'll feel that it's difficult to keep up with school, but it's normal because you've just arrived. The teachers are very attentive and listen to students who are interested in applying themselves to their studies. I recommend this program 100%.
Language School > Arabic school in MoroccoSince the Turkish and Arab TV series arrived in Chile, I became very interested in the culture of the Middle East. Learning Arabic in Morocco has been a decision that has changed my life. It has been a beautiful experience to have left my country to live something completely new. I am very grateful to everyone on the team. Thank you very much for this experience!

Language School > Arabic school in MoroccoAt school, everybody was nice to me. They are very good and professional. They also speak English so I felt comfortable and not so lost abroad. Arabic is difficult to learn in your own country. In Tetouan to do my shopping, I used a lot of the Arabic I learned at school. I recommend 100 % of learning Arabic in an Arab country because you will learn it very fast like me.
Language School > German school in MunichThank you very much for your help! Now, I am able to read in German! I'm so happy! At first, I remember when I struggled a lot to understand anything in German. But, teachers were very patient and kind. I will always appreciate that! after many hours of listening to German everywhere, I got used to it. I still don't think in German but it will come.

High School Abroad > IB Schools in CanadaI'm learning a lot to get to know myself thanks to this program. It is true that the way of working is very different. But this helps a lot for people like me who like experiments and research. I've always dreamed of being in a school where people respect each other and have an interest in really learning and I feel like I'm in the right program.

His host family was wonderful! We would absolutely recommend the program (I did it myself in 1990). My daughter will likely do the program 2 years from now.

Homestay Programs > Junior Homestay in FranceMy flight back was great! I've been attending summer cross-country practices and in a couple of days, I'm starting my senior year of high school. After my homestay, I feel more confident when I speak French and know a lot more everyday words that were missing from my vocabulary. The Batons were wonderful to stay with and I especially liked accompanying them to their local band practices every week. I would strongly recommend this program to others!
Homestay Programs > Homestay SpainThank you so much for coordinating Prasanna's homestay in Calpe with a wonderful family. I think he had a very good time and learnt a lot, including improving his Spanish (!). The coordinator in Calpe, Lorena, was a big help and support, as well. I feel like the quality and care of Nacel has remained at its high standard from the memorable stays that my family has experiences a generation ago.

Summer Camps > French Courses in Paris: course, visits, activities and fun!After graduating from the United States, my parents offered me this French course in Paris. It was the best gift I have ever received. I traveled for the first time outside the United States to learn French in France. I wasn't the only one with a beginner's level. Thanks God! We had a lot of fun getting to know Paris and took a lot of pictures for our social networks. French is a very beautiful language and Paris even more! We visited many places and did shopping. I went back to the United States with many gifts for my parents and family.

Summer Camps > English language immersion camp in Monaghan
The program of English courses in Ireland was pretty cool! We discovered new places with other students.
Most students dream of studying abroad, fortunately I had the opportunity of attending Saint Paul American School, which is an English based school located in Shanghai, China. I am thankful to both Nacel and my parents for providing me the opportunity to study far from home. Due to what I just mentioned, I got to experience what it was to live foreign country, with a different culture, along with students from all around the world. It was definitely a thrilling experience, from moving to a boarding school, meanwhile becoming an independent adult, to learning how to eat with chopsticks. I most enjoyed interacting with different nationalities, sharing experiences, and growing by learning from each other which is something that I personally will never forget. If someone asked me what my favorite memory from China is, I would tell them about the dorm life. Imagine living with your friends and being able to walk into each other’s room to hangout or blow off some steam from school. Another thing I would mention is being able to travel around the country experiencing the Chinese culture with my friends. I would suggest to take the initiative to study abroad to anyone who is mature enough and ready to live an unforgettable experience.

Language School > French School in NormandyI am in France studying French. I would like to do university in France in the future, maybe at the Sorbonne. I would like to have 2 majors: French and History. The food has much less sugar than in the US, and it tastes more natural. I visited the Château d’Amboise, the Clos Lucé et the Chateau Gaillard. I’m fond of Castles. In Paris I hope to visit Place de la Concorde, Château de Vincennes, Château de Fontainebleau and Château de Versailles. It is my passion. I love France and I hope to live here one day. I really want to learn how to speak French properly, this is why I’m here!

Summer Camps > Basketball and French summer camp in FranceJésus participated in this camp two years ago. Last summer he was unable to participate due to health problems. But this summer he could and was very happy to be back. As always the team of Nacel very respectful and Professional. I highly recommend this basketball camp so that your children can meet other kids their age and talk to them in French. The first year if we enrolled him in the classes, this year not because he wanted to spend much more time playing basketball.

High School Abroad > South of France Boarding schoolI want to study medicine at a French university in the future and to be able to adapt and catch up with French culture, my parents and I are interested in Nacel's boarding schools in France. They recommended the Espalion boarding school because the faculty was highly qualified and interested in helping students have an excellent year. For this reason, we chose Espalion. Coming from a big city, I really liked the idea of studying in a much calmer, safer place with nature around. My year in Espalion has been very productive and I leave happy because I have achieved my goal: to study in France and get good grades. Have a nice day!

Homestay Programs > Homestay in France and Discovery ParisMy French host family was absolutely amazing. They were so much like my family, and they immediately helped me to feel at home. They made sure to plan enough so that I could see Angoulême but not feel rushed to do so. We did things like go to a “Fête de la musique,” Puy Du Fou, La Rochelle, and more. Though they weren’t required to do all of this, it made my stay there feel more memorable. I feel like a formed a valuable connection with them, and I would love for them to visit my family in the US, or for me to be able to see them again in France.
In terms of my French, I definitely feel like I improved. There are things that are taught to us in school that don’t really apply to real life in France, like how negatives work and how to say “we.” Being in France for a month, i was able to learn a bunch of saying, colloquialisms, and new vocabulary that will help me in the coming years. I’d say that being totally immersed in a culture for 1 month really helps with learning language, given you have to speak said language all the time.
I would definitely recommend this program to students who want to better their language skills, experience a new culture, and form new relationships. It was a great program and definitely gave me more knowledge than I had. However, the only problem with the program was with the Paris Discovery tour. Mainly, there was not near enough time to do everything, and we found that some days, things were closed due to heavy traffic (like the 3rd floor of the Eiffel Tower). Otherwise, it was a great and fulfilling program.
Finally, on the personal side, I have a connection with my Host family in Touvre, but I also did a lot of self-discovery there and realized that I also have a connection with France, too. I have grown a love for their culture, food, people, places, and language. I feel like there’s a piece of me left in France that’s hard to ignore, and I’m highly considering going back one day, possibly to study in college. The Nacel program helped me with that discovery, and I am always thankful for that.
