STUDY THE FRENCH LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND POLITICS
SYA France supports high school students on their journey to becoming fluent in French through the study of the language, culture and politics of France.
All students are required to take six courses, including French language, English, math, two electives and experiential French. Students participating in the semester program will receive .5 credits per course while yearlong students will receive 1 credit per course.
The SYA Capstone
The SYA Capstone, or the final project for yearlong students, is designed to provide students with an opportunity to showcase their evolving skills through a comprehensive project. Semester students also complete a final project that rounds out their shorter experience abroad. The project provides students the opportunity to dive into a topic that captures their imagination and interest.
Some recent examples of Capstones at SYA France include:
- Supporting the unhoused population in Rennes
- Learning about, and making, traditional Breton goat cheese
- Street art in Rennes and creating a street art piece
The SYA Capstone is the culmination of the Experiential language course.
