What French courses does LSF Montpellier offer?

Updated

LSF Montpellier (lsf-france.com) offers four main course tracks: French for adults (16+), summer courses for juniors, customised packages for groups, and Erasmus+ teacher training. The right one depends on your age, goal, and whether you want to study alone or with a group. The school is based in the historic centre of Montpellier in the South of France and has taught French as a foreign language for more than 20 years, receiving nearly 3,000 students from over 80 countries each year.

French courses for adults (16+)

This is the broadest track, aimed at learners aged 16 and over "from all walks of life." Within it, the site lists three formats:

  • Private courses — one-to-one instruction.
  • Group courses — classroom learning with other students.
  • Exam preparation courses — targeted preparation for French language exams.

The adult track also includes a Premium Intensive French Course, which appears as a distinct, higher-tier option on the site. If your priority is fast progress or a specific exam deadline, the intensive or exam-prep formats fit better than a general group course.

Summer French courses for juniors

For younger learners, LSF runs a summer programme that combines French lessons with cultural activities. The next session is listed as 5–25 July 2026.

This track suits families looking for a structured summer immersion rather than a year-round academic course. The cultural activities are built in, so language practice continues outside the classroom.

French courses for groups

LSF builds customised packages for groups of students. According to the site, "accommodation, course, activities: everything is possible" — meaning the school can assemble a package covering all three elements rather than just tuition.

This is the relevant track if you are organising for a school class, a university cohort, or another organised group, and you need logistics handled alongside teaching.

Erasmus+ teacher training for French teachers

For French teachers, LSF offers Erasmus+ teacher training that blends professional development with cultural immersion. This track is aimed at educators who want to combine methodological training with time in a French-speaking environment, and it is structured around the Erasmus+ funding framework.

Online options

LSF also runs online courses if you cannot travel to Montpellier:

  • Online private French courses — sold as a 6- or 12-lesson pack, with a flexible timetable and one teacher per student, described as customised and personalised.
  • Evening French courses — 4 lessons per week over a 4-, 8-, or 12-week course, held on Tuesday and Thursday nights, as online group lessons.
