Any good summer school suggest in Toulouse, France?

My husband will work there in coming end of July for three week, I think it is a good time to take my son to explore the summer holidays over there for two weeks. any good suggestion (English school)?

Thank you.

Forget to mention, my son is 9 years old now.

Try to post on the Toulouse forum! most people on this forum are much more familiar with Paris than Toulouse. Why not explore Toulouse with your son? Surely you already have bought, or will buy soon, a guidebook on South western France and are learning about Toulouse history and culture? I am not sure why you need a school for 2 weeks? There are English speaking schools in Toulouse but their students are enrolled for a whole year and their curriculum is likely very different from your son school. If anything he should be exposed to French, not English!

Thanks for your reply, as I think it is a good time to let my son (9years old) to play with differenct culture people, then it will be a very experience for him. On weekend, then I can bring him our to visit the museums. It will be more easier for me to take care of my little girl and my son. I am looking for some schools that they will have some summer camp programme, then we can enrolled only two weeks.

Thanks for your advise, I will try to post this on the Toulouse forum.

I don%26#39;t know of any schools in France (though they may exist) that offer summer school programs. Summer school in France is not at all like in the US (don%26#39;t know anything about the HK system). Here it tends to be for kids who are having severe academic difficulties.

Your best bet is to contact the Toulouse Int%26#39;l school directly and ask them what is avail. in their region.

It was a long time ago (over 10 years) but I went to summer school in France.

Mine was in Montpellier but there were summer schools all over France. You have French language lessons in the morning and do other stuff (excursions, beach, sports etc) in the afternoon.

It was for older kids and students doing French tho - ie 15 years up and the one I went to was minimum 4 weeks. But there might be similar programmes for younger kids...

Thanks for your advises!! Is there any website that I can check the contact lists of the schools in Toulouse, then I can send email to them directly?

Google %26quot;English speaking schools in Toulouse%26quot;.. I found a few international schools by Googling but in the summer it looks like they are open to French people wanting to learn English. You can e-mail them anyway.. Did you check the Toulouse forum yet? try googling %26quot;tripadvisor Toulouse forum%26quot;

yes, I made another post on the Toulouse Forums, but no reply yet. Thank you.

Have you contacted the Mairie in Toulouse?
