Our Educational Approach

Who are we?

American Village is a unique concept of summer camps 100% in English for French children aged 8 to 17. Created by Nacel in 1994, our language camps offer a true immersion in the language without leaving France. We currently offer vacation and school stays all over France. We offer various themed programs (USA, UK and Magic Worlds).

From language lessons to activities, mealtimes to bedtime, our counselors speak English all day long. Continuous immersion in the English language ensures that participants become more fluent. When they return from the camp, they will be less hesitant about expressing themselves in English. 

We've been working with French language-learners for 30 years. Our pedagogical approaches are inspired by American and Anglo-Saxon methods for teaching English as a foreign language. Our counselors play a key role in each student's learning all day long. They must be able to apply our caring, playful and structured approach.
