Academic Treks is the leader in French immersion summer programs abroad for high school students. Why? Academic Treks takes pride in taking the path less traveled, bringing language to life as you embark on unforgettable life experiences. Sharpen your French speaking skills as you sail through tropical islands and try surfing on the palm-fringed shores of St. François. Marvel at breathtaking summit views from France’s Mont Blanc. Learn the art of Creole cuisine alongside local teens on Guadeloupe. Hold a hand and make a difference volunteering at a children’s center. Coordinate an art festival with new French friends. Discover yourself and the world you live in while vastly improving your language skills.

Truly unique and spectacular destinations are the backdrop for our unparalleled combination of traditional learning, experiential learning and meaningful service learning. Our programs are not sightseeing trips or teen tours, rather authentic language and cultural immersion experiences in which we learn by becoming part of the places we travel. Along the way you’ll earn college credit and 10-40 hours of community service credit. This is not your ordinary French summer camp.
