IS Aix-en-Provence is an international language institute which has specialised in teaching French to adult foreigners for more than 35 years. It is registered in France with the Department of Education as a private school of higher education, and was founded by the Swedish foundation Folkuniversitetet which is linked to the University of Stockholm and has branches in Germany, Great Britain, Sweden and Spain. IS Aix-en-Provence is a non-profit-making organization and member of the quality networks SOUFFLE, EAQUALS and IALC.
Every year we welcome about 1000 students who come from all over the five continents (more than 40 nationalities are represented!) for professional as well as personal reasons and we train personnel from companies and international organisations. Schools and professional groups come here every year on language courses. This cultural diversity creates the richness of the classes: lively exchanges and debates go hand in hand with an atmophere which is both studious and friendly. Our school is of an average size which facilitates conviviality and relationships in everyday life.
The Institute is situated in [Aix-en-Provence->182] in a former private mansion with its charm, one side facing a street lined with plane trees and the other overlooking lovely gardens. There are 15 classrooms, a [multimedia resource centre->174] with an adjoining sunny terrace and a room for Internet.
