The ideal APA student is bright and motivated, internationally-minded who seeks a cross-cultural experience and has a desire to experience French and Francophone life.
We know that several factors play into a student’s ability to learn a second language (or third, or fourth!). The number of years one has studied French should be seen as a guideline rather than a requirement. We invite you to contact us at usa@apaparis.com and we will be happy to assist you if you are unsure of your language level.
