PGL offers 2 courses: Our French Language Study courses will focus on confidence and achievement in the language itself, while our French Explorer course will contribute more widly to cultural understanding and an appreciation of French.

A trip to France with PGL offers significant oportunities for your pupils to experience learning in a new, stimulating and caring environment which directly supports the work they do in school. Before you travel we will always consult with you to identify your desired learning outcomes and identify the best visits, study modules and support you will need. We plan your itinerary and programme to ensure you meet your stated aims and objectives.

Our three welcoming centres are superbly located for exploring the sights and experiencing the culture of France. Staying at a PGL centre, your pupils will discover the country from a uniquely secure and supported environment.
