French Language Summer Camps: Learn French at the Mouratoglou Academy

At the Mouratoglou Academy, our French language summer camps combine immersive language learning with daily tennis training. Students don’t just study French they use it on the court, in class, and during every activity throughout the day.

Open to kids and teens aged 10 to 17, the program welcomes international participants of all levels. Each camper follows a schedule that blends language lessons with tennis sessions, adapted to their age, skill level, and goals.

• Interactive French lessons in small groups, tailored to the student’s age and proficiency
• Real-life speaking practice during meals, campus life, and team activities
• Cultural workshops focused on French traditions, food, and everyday expressions
• Daily tennis training, integrated into the schedule as a key part of the immersive experience
• Fun, supervised excursions and activities that help reinforce vocabulary in authentic contexts
• Each day, students take part in meaningful, memorable moments combining learning and movement through conversation, sports, challenges, and shared experiences with their peers.

At the Mouratoglou Academy, our French language summer camps are based on a fundamental belief: students learn best when they are engaged, active, and emotionally connected to their experience. That’s why we combine immersive language learning with the principles of the Mouratoglou Methodology, offering a holistic approach that supports both academic and personal growth

• High standards that encourage every student to reach their full potential
• Adaptability, with programs tailored to individual profiles, goals, and learning rhythms
• Commitment, through full engagement from both students and staff to create a positive and motivating atmosphere

Each camper benefits from a structured, supportive, and inspiring environment where learning is active and meaningful. Whether they are just beginning French or already have a foundation, they are guided through a program that values effort, respect, and progress key principles of the Mouratoglou philosophy.

Through this approach, students don’t just study French they live it, feel it, and grow through it, supported by the same educational excellence that has shaped champions on and off the court.

“I started the summer as a beginner. After three weeks, I was speaking French with confidence. And I had so much fun doing it!”
— John, 13, from Sweden
