Language School > French School in Paris

Thank you so very much for organizing Ashling's visit to France. She came home, fit, happy, independent, with new friends.  She is looking forward to returning, and even thinking of College in France.  This was a wonderful experience. I know you did a lot of work to make everything come together in a short time, so a special thank you to you Céline.

High School Abroad > Paris Boarding School

It was a fantastic experience, admittedly short (due to COVID 19 pandemic), but Catherine has fond memories of La Salle Saint Nicolas.

I want to share with you as well that Maxim is settled fine in French Lycee in Zurich. He is very focused on studies now, his French has really improved last year, it’s fantastic. His marks are good now. He is much more confident. 

I am very grateful to Nacel for all support and care provided to my son. I am sure his success is a lot because of your help and guidance. Big thank you to all teachers and host families in France. Svetlana

The family has been extremely generous with Esmee and we are so grateful. 

High School Abroad > High School in Japan

It really was life changing for Guy and something he will never forget. He made so many friends and most importantly, he became a young man and grew up a lot and became even more resilient and determined to keep reaching for bigger and better things for himself.
He gained a big sense of self confidence. In Japan, he realized that it was up to him to stretch and make sure he made solid connections with people and he really did that with all 3 families he stayed with, and then gained the confidence to engage fully at school. So much so they asked him to be part of their new flyer to advertise the school to new students!

In addition, he met lots of kids from different countries through the program and now is excited to make plans once travel can resume to meet these, as well as his Japanese friends, in the future, either in Europe, the US or Japan. Not bad for age 16! I believe his mind was really opened and he blossomed. Even though he went there to improve his language skills, in his mind, he actually got a lot more from the program than he expected but it was better than we hoped for as his parents.

I know that these programs are invaluable for their cultural educational opportunities and for improving education and giving young people a really strong foundation.

Mailee couldn't be happier with her placement.  Your team has done an exceptional job in finding the perfect family for her!  They have already emailed each other and sent videos.  Now they are chatting via social media.  Lots of photos!  Thank you so much! Mailee's mom

High School Abroad > High School Exchange in France

Hanna is really sad to leave but has established great connection with her host family and is adamant to come back to visit (she’s going to study at the University College of Dublin in Ireland so might be even easier!) and maintain her French because she really even more loves the language. This has been an incredible experience for her and helped her to mature even more! 

High School Abroad > High School Exchange in France

Hannah is back, looks great and seems very happy with her experience so thanks to your great team!

Homestay Programs > Summer Homestay Immersion in France

I'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.

I 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.

Homestay Programs > Summer Homestay Immersion in France
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 Madrid (Select program)

Before 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 Madrid (Select program)

My 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.

I 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 France
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.

Summer Camps > Dance summer camp in France

The 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.

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 in France

We 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

We 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 France

My 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!

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.

High School Abroad > Paris Boarding School

The 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!

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.

We discovered the city and its surroundings. What I liked the most was to discover the castle of Neuschwanstein. it was very impressive. we took many pictures with friends.

High School Abroad > Public 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 Italy

Thank 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 Madrid (Select program)

I 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.

I made really great friends at this English camp!

Montpellier 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.

Studying 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.

Summer Camps > Tennis summer camp in France

I 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 France

I 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.

Language School > Summer English Courses in London

This summer course enabled me to meet and speak English with many people, which really improved my confidence. It’s a very practical course, and I learnt a lot of new vocabulary and grammatical structures; not only in the classroom, but also outside the classroom visiting London. I got to visit the famous sights of London, learn about the history of the city, and practise my English. I was able to see London from a different perspective! It has been great fun, I really enjoyed it!

High School Abroad > South of France Boarding school

Studying 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%.

At 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.

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!

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.
