Paris with your class

A school group in Paris spends mornings in structured French classes and afternoons living the language: the Louvre, Versailles, a Seine cruise, Montmartre. The programme is designed to make French feel like a real, living language rather than a subject on a timetable.

With the Thalys from Brussels, Paris is barely over an hour away — no airport, no customs, minimal travel fatigue. On the move selects the school, handles accommodation and builds every day of the programme around your educational objectives.

Language Trips - your questions

A school language trip is organised for your whole group — the entire class or year group travels together, shares accommodation and follows a programme built around your school's curriculum. An individual language stay is a personal booking for one student. On the move specialises in group programmes and handles all logistics, supervision and paperwork for schools.

All levels from complete beginners (A1) to advanced (C1). Pupils are sorted by level on arrival so every lesson is appropriately challenging. Each pupil receives a CEFR-referenced progress certificate at the end of the stay.

Our English schools in London and Dublin hold English UK or IALC accreditation. Malta partner schools are FELTOM-accredited. Barcelona schools are Instituto Cervantes-affiliated. Paris schools are certified by the French Ministry of Education. All schools are regularly inspected and all teachers are qualified.

Yes — and we encourage it. The most effective language trips blend morning classes with afternoon cultural experiences where pupils use the language naturally. We design the programme around your educational objectives and group.
