I had two instructors, Jacqueline and Agnes, and both were very good. Jacqueline is more dynamic, Agnes more reserved, but both are outstanding. I am retired, but there were students of all ages. I doubt there are markedly better schools and the quartier is hard to beat - I walked across the Champs de mars every day to class.

I attended Accord during the Fall of 2006. It was an amazing experience! I moved to Paris by…read moremyself just to learn French and Accord was perfect for what I needed. They have several different levels you can choose from. If you want to take a less intensive course of 20 hours a week you can do that or you can take the intensive course closer to 40 hours a week. They also have courses for business professionals as well. It is full immersion...no English allowed! They teach by living it, you are learning by songs, poems, acting out skits, they give you different worksheets for homework and lots of talking in the class. You have no choice but to learn French. On top of that you live there so you are able to use the language in your everyday life. I went from VERY beginner to intermediate in just a few months. The other nice thing is that you change teachers every week, and you change classes according to your speaking level...if you need some more work you stay in the class, if they think you can move on they change your class. They can help set you up with a family to live with or you can just find an apartment like I did. There is also a metro station right next to the school so it is easy to get to...along with that the area has tons of shopping and small cafe's all around it. The pizza place next door is amazing!!! I met so many cool people here that I still keep in touch with and have met up with since leaving the school. They have students come in from all over the world so you meet an awesome group of people. If you want to take a French immersion class this is really the place to do it! This type of experience will change your life for the better

This is hands-down, the best school you will find, in all the western suburbs of Paris. Perhaps the…read morebest, even including Paris. My daughter started here at age 4, and what the French call moyenne section (it's a year before kindergarten). Upon arrival, she could not count to more than 29 in English and she spoke not one word, a French. She knew her alphabet, but didn't know all the sounds of the alphabet in English. After 1 year at the school before she started kindergarten/Grandesection, my daughter could read English and when I say, read English, I mean very complicated sentences not just " Jack Sat or the rat" she was doing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and she could count to 100 in both French & English. The school has a Wednesday program for English and it also has evening programs where you can leave your child there until 6:30 PM/ 18h30 and choose the language the child is exposed to during the evening program. During my daughter's second year, I chose to put her in the evening program so she could have more exposure to French.. she did not attend the Wenesday program as it's for English and she doesn't need any English. She attended the school four days a week and she had 20 hours of English instruction and 18 hours a French instruction per week. At the start of her second year in September she really couldn't speak much French and I was a bit disappointed but with the addition of the evening program, she was speaking French by March. In the school starting at age 5, you can sign your child up for pony they go from 11 AM to 16h twice a month to do pony. They also go on a ski trip all together for six days in the alps without their parents, and they can go at age 4, and at age 5. At age 6 they go elsewhere, sometimes to the sea where they can swim and go boating. They have art exhibits that exhibit the children's artwork.. and like all Montessori schools there is an emphasis on emotional and social development on top of quite a rigorous in my opinion, academic program. It should be noted that at the age of four and five a child is either in the French section or in the English section. This is because they need to learn to read and one language first. My daughter was in the English section. That's why she got 20 hours of English instruction. But she also had the opportunity to have 18 hours in French instruction. Children in the French section had 20 hours a French instruction and they could have 18 hours of English instruction if they put their child in the evening program and additional 2 1/2 hours on Wednesday morning. Try to find any other school where you can have that much English instruction. If you speak French at home and you really want your child to be in the English section on top of an English speaking evening program & in an English speaking Wednesday program then you could have 32 hours of English instruction per week. Other schools in the area will tell you, that they are bilingual and at best they'll give you maybe 45 minutes a day for four days. I think it's not enough. Finally, I will say., there are other schools that also called themselves a bilingual Montessori program in Versailles and they even have the same name as this school but in fact they're not at all related to the school. If you want to attend the school, make sure you talk to Veronique who is the head Director and make sure that you're at the school located at the train station of gare de Montreuil. My daughter is now in first grade at the school with a French call CP and what this school calls junior section. And she is absolutely beyond happy. The teachers of the kindest ever I have absolutely no worries. With them. And if I ever need something they are the first to help me even in my every day life outside of school with my daughter. Honestly you can't get better than the school and if anyone tells you differently, I strongly suggest you don't believe them. The have personalities and issues!

So when…read morean opportunity to be in Paris for a few months presented itself I was thrilled, but I had no idea which language school to pick! Looked on here and on Trip Advisor - Langue Appart' was rated highest on both. So I signed up hoping it would be good; instead it was excellent! I wound up taking a bit less than three months of classes and was stunned at how much progress I made thanks to Mélanie's teaching. She has a tremendous gift for knowing the right level of challenge for students, and explained all of the concepts clearly. The other students in my class and I were serious about becoming fluent, so she pushed us much harder than I expected, but was also endlessly patient even when we forgot things repeatedly. It was wonderful to learn more quickly than I had imagined was possible - all the French friends I made in Paris were shocked at how good my French was for such a short period of study! :) I also loved my fellow students - our classwork kept us engaged because in addition to useful phrases and words we were given the opportunity to share (with no pressure to be deep) about ourselves, our cultures, and our perspectives using whatever grammar we were learning at the moment. Even more fun because we were all from different parts of the world! I don't usually write reviews but am happy to make an exception for Langue Appart'! PS. The other teacher, Michael, seemed like he was really good too; I met some of his students and they were very happy with their experiences as well. And Carolina, the admin, was incredibly supportive and went out of her way to be generously helpful to me multiple times. If you choose to go, j'espère que vous apprécierez aussi!

I couldn't have been happier with my experience at Langue Appart'. I was there for two weeks…read more taking group classes in the morning with Bryan as well as two private lessons a week with Melanie. I am an Intermediate student B2. The group lessons were well structured with clear goals and a little homework to reinforce what we had learned. Bryan let the conversation flow (all in French) and then took a pause to correct us individually - pronunciation, grammar and expression. It was an intimate class and I felt really at ease - challenged but encouraged! And the other students were really great. The individual lessons with Melanie were more conversational. The first day we worked on "la vie quotidienne" - I was so shocked at the holes in my vocabulary when I tried to describe making pasta - but now I know. We discussed art, culture, politics (I was there during the election so it could not be ignored) and our last day we had a pot luck "pause dej." with students from all the classes. The school is small and the caring and really affordable. A perfect fit for me. Can't wait to return. Merci équipe Langue Appart'

The director, Eriko, is extremely organized and professional and the school is very well run. They really know what they are doing. The school is beautiful. Everyone is kind and patient, but they also have expectations and standards, which are for the benefit of every student. After a week in a small group setting, they helped me to figure out was best for me, which turned out to be private classes, because I was a bit too impatient with the speed of my class. I do think their classes are wonderful -- very small size, and effectively structured, but I was extremely eager to talk, to use my french, and for that, their private teachers were a better fit. If you want to really improve your french and have some time in Paris, this is a fantastic school. Lots of students are people who live in Paris (most, in my classes), who wanted to improve their french for professional reasons. The school is on a gorgeous street in the 7th. It has no downsides whatsoever. If you go there, you'll be very glad, without any regrets at all.
