About Our School
We are a Chamonix based language school providing French and English lessons. We take a fun and fresh approach to language learning. Why be bored in a large classroom of 15+ people? Our mini groups provide a great interactive learning environment.
Our Philosophy – The Altitude Way
EXPERTISE AND FUN
Altitude Language School was founded in 2013 by Celine (French Teacher) and Abi (English Teacher). Through our experience and expertise we have setup a professional school that takes a fun approach to language learning. We aim to be Chamonix’s funnest and most flexible language school.
HARMONISED MINI GROUPS
After a free evaluation of your skills, you will be placed into an appropriate group. Working in smaller groups is the perfect way to learn a language, learning with people with similar abilities enhances motivation and maintains a good learning atmosphere. The mini groups are great fun!
TAILORED COURSES
Every lesson is tailored to your specific needs and wishes. We use interactive methods, with lesons linked to daily life situations. We work to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) ensuring your new language skills are relevant for work or preparing for language exams.
ACTIVE LEARNING WITH EVO2
We have partnered with Chamonix’s Evolution 2 (read more) to offer French or English Lessons and activity packages. Abi, our English teacher, is also a qualified ski instructor and climbing instructor and you can combine your English lessons with some great instruction in the Chamonix valley.
