Hello,
Can anyone recommend or list the most effective, demanding summer programs for advanced French students who want to develop fluency, both in US and abroad?</p>

<p>This would be for a 17 1/2 year old who has run out of French courses to take during her Senior year of HS. She is looking for something more than just an exchange program or group HS program- she has done those already and they are not rigorous or effective enough for her current purposes because they do not force complete immersion (100% French spoken).
Her current French teacher is impressed with the Middlebury 7 week program for college age and older. Has anyone from HS attended that program?
And he is not familiar with how effective the Middlebury program for HS'ers is at achieving fluency, etc. Anyone have any info about that program?
Anyone know of any others to consider??</p>

<p>I know someone who went to Middlebury. Apparently, if you speak English twice you get thrown out of the program - I’d say it’s pretty intense.</p>

<p>Otherwise, I’d look at EF. They offer an intensive course in Paris and Nice of 32 lessons a week.</p>
