French in Lausanne
The School of French in a few words :

When it opened in 1962, Institut Richelieu could already benefit the founder’s forty year experience in the educational field. Since then, it has always been influenced by inspirational results of new research which significantly reformed the teaching of modern languages.

Four general principles prevail in our instruction of French language:

	Students are motivated in a relaxed but pleasantly stimulating atmosphere.
	In order to facilitate the student’s rapid progress, a large choice of psychologically adapted incentives are used as to complement individual capacities.
	Teaching aids with proven educational value such as record players, language laboratory and video sets are judiciously used.
	Professional teachers only instruct students and evaluate their progress.

These four principles applied to small classes (4 to 14 students) enable the School to provide students with the best chances of fast progress under close supervision. Moreover, our School’s close contacts with the ALLIANCE FRANCAISE of Paris provide us with guidelines from their exceptional worldwide experience.
