Paris For Teens is founded on the belief that the best learning comes from experience. We offer Hidden Paris, to be lived, absorbed and remembered....access unavailable to the public and unobtainable as a tourist. Paris should not be visted superficially as one of many stops on a tour.

Paris For Teens is designed to be the most memorable summer of a teen's life. Beyond that, it is meant to engender love for travel, hunger for learning, curiosity about differences, recognition of universalities and an appreciation for global citizenship.

Paris for Teens is certain to fill our days with endless choices of activities. Our days consist of walking tours, bike riding, roller blading, rock climbing, concerts, shopping, fashion shows, museums, and language lessons. Whatever we choose, Paris is ours to explore. We reconvene for dinner most nights and make our evening choices..maybe an outdoor concert, maybe a nightclub, maybe walking around to absorb the sheer beauty of the City of Lights at night. We often often focus on a particular neighborhood or area. On our last night we all take a private boat ride down the Seine and see most of the Paris landmarks from the river, lit by powerful searchlights.

Safety is our highest priority. Paris remains one of the safest cities in the world. We have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the city and our participants are given specific guidance in conducting themselves in a manner that is careful, polite and appropriate to their temporary home. This is an important aspect of cultural immersion.

Paris for Teens has 3 adult counselors for each 20 participants, as well as 1 to 3 junior counselors (college age or older).

Our participants live as Parisians but there is no requirement for participants to speak French
