  • One of the oldest French schools in Nice founded in 1965
What we dislike about the school
  • Lessons are 40 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

Location: EF International Language Center Nice is located in the French Riviera resort town of Nice, France. The school is newly renovated with the latest in learning technology and is only a 5-minutes walk from Nice's famous beachfront, in addition to the nearby shops and cafés on Promenade des Anglais. The school is close to supermarkets, shops, eateries, restaurants, and the multiple attractions available along Nice's beautiful coastline. Within walking distance of the school are attractions such as the Villa Masséna Musée, Jardin Alsace Lorraine and Jardin Albert 1er, assuring that students, of all ages, can enjoy the beautiful city of Nice whilst achieving their language goals. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is within a 30-minute train ride of the school.

Additional information: For its excellent standards in teaching and student care, EF Nice was awarded the prestigious Label Qualité Français Langue Etrangère.

School facilities: The facilities of the school are excellent, offering everything a student may need to reach their language goals, from a comfortable and motivating environment. These facilities include a cafeteria, a computer lab, a lounge area, games tables and a Student Support Desk for any questions or queries that may arise. All classrooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating and ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

Course selection: Course selection with EF Nice includes something for students of all levels and ages. Adult courses are available the whole year round, whereas immersive junior or junior day programmes are available during the summer months. Internship programmes are also available within several industries, local to the school.

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves. Across the globe, they have more than 600 schools and offices in over 50 countries, delivering the best in education and student care throughout all locations. As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

EF understands that language programmes can be much more than the sole process of learning a language, as cultural immersion and diversity play a key part in any student's educational and life development.

Throughout the EF schools, programmes are readily available to adults and juniors, for career, personal and educational development.

Questions and answers about EF International Language Center
