Dear reader,
This website, for English speaking families, is written in British English as it is the English we know best. We would love to be proficient in North -American English too.

Dear Parents,
You are a stable, well balanced family.
Your children’s education and up-bringing is of paramount importance to you.
You are ambitious for them.
Give them the opportunity of having a wonderful adventure
that they will never regret and never forget.
They will thank you for the rest of their lives.
With our help and expertise, YOU can give your child the greatest experience of his childhood.
Just as 2000 children before them, your child can experience life in the loving care of a carefully selected French, Spanish or German family.
You are welcome to visit the family before the exchange starts.
The children return home absolutely thrilled with their experience.
They come back more self-confident, sharing and open to cultural differences.
No child has ever had to repeat a year at school.
On the contrary, attending school in another country (using another language) means that a child’s brain has to work more, therefore becomes more receptive, more adaptable, more open, better organised, and with a better memory.
Your child will return truly bilingual, thinking and dreaming in another language.
Many former “En Famille International” children have told us that their exchange is the thing that stood out and made the difference on their CV when going on to higher education or looking for a job.
A remarkable asset for their future.
An En Famille International exchange means a friendship for life between two children and also between two families: yours and your child’s French, Spanish or German family.
An Exchange also means that you will welcome a French, Spanish or German child into your family, which itself is a most rewarding and enriching experience.
Even little brothers and sisters will mature when their big brother or sister is abroad and when they welcome an extra “brother or sister” for 6 months.
Who are we?

Let your child study abroad, surrounded by the love of a caring family. It is by far the best way to learn a language.
Education is of importance to us, particularly early childhood education and bilingual education.
Trust our 30 years of experience. With our study-abroad program let your child enjoy a foreign exchange and give him or her the key to learning a foreign language: either French, German or Spanish.
We do better than any language school: our exchange students learn French in France. They learn to speak French in a French family and in a French school.
The French language is a wonderfully colourful and poetic language.
Our youth program gives amazing results. This is truly a unique student exchange program.
Do take time to visit our website, click on “Testimonials” and read what parents and children from different countries have to tell you.
A wonderful experience for your child and for YOU parents when you welcome a French, German or Spanish child for six months.
Learning French can be natural, fun and easy for any foreign exchange student who spends six months in France.
We believe that no other foreign exchange program will offer your child such a wonderful enriching experience.
