Spend a semester abroad in Paris, mastering French and diving into art, science, and café culture.
Picture yourself in Paris — café tables spilling onto cobblestone streets, the Eiffel Tower glowing against the night sky, and centuries of history layered into every boulevard. Live with a French host family, build friendships in a close-knit cohort, and immerse yourself in Parisian life.
You’ll begin your semester in London, spending the first three weeks with fellow students in CIEE’s Global Gateway Academy. Prepare for a successful semester by forming lasting friendships, building strong intercultural communication skills, and connecting with the local community through impactful service projects.
In Paris, you’ll take in-person classes like Smart Cities, Mixed Media Arts, and French Language & Culture alongside online courses through ASU Prep Global. Classes are small and collaborative, and weekly activities take learning beyond the classroom—into hidden museums, local markets, and beyond. French immersion happens naturally through day-to-day life, community engagement, and conversations with your very own language buddy.
You’ll have plenty of time to make Paris your own, from late-afternoon picnics by the Seine to finding “your” café for morning chocolat chaud. Take excursions to history-rich Normandy, the soaring abbey of Mont Saint-Michel, and the walled port town of Saint-Malo. Your semester will leave you speaking French with confidence and ready to take on college with a fresh sense of independence and possibility.
Think Gaudí’s colorful curves at Park Güell, the sound of guitars drifting through plazas, and palm trees swaying beside the sea. From golden beaches to mountain views, Barcelona blends coastal calm with a bold, creative spirit. Join a welcoming host family, form close friendships with your cohort, and immerse yourself in Catalan culture.

Your semester promises fun adventures, lifelong friends, and a future shaped by global experiences.
