Rassias Summer Language Programs

our 25th year

Rassias Programs features six exciting opportunities to study and travel abroad for high school age students and one domestic program for students of all ages. For high school students who have completed a minimum of two years of French or Spanish or who are beginners or above in Chinese, we offer two programs in France, three programs in Spain, and one Chinese program. For students ages 8 to 16, we offer multiple languages in the US

We are renowned for our personal touch, skillfully crafted programs, dynamic teaching methods, close personal ties to our host regions, and above all our highly qualified and knowledgeable staff. Our time proven mix of these ingredients give Rassias summer program participants a one-of-a-kind experience!

Special Note: Our Chinese program, located in Tibet's Yunnan Province, is not the standard, big-city China program. In addition to its Mandarin studies and homestay, it also offers an exceptional service component - teaching English (while eating, cooking and sleeping) in a Tibetan Charity School, plus presentations from several environmental and cultural organizations with whom we have realtions. Our itinerary is a finely crafted one, not available without the deep roots and contacts of our Tibetan friends. Have a look at the China information on this web site!

The lasting impact of a summer with us!

"Hello to everyone at Rassias! My husband Scott and I just returned from a 5 day sojourn in Paris and I had to contact you with news and say thanks!

It's been 14 years since I first enrolled in the summer program in Tours. Through the years I have maintained contact with my host family, visiting them on several occasions. When I first met the three Le Bras sisters, they were just little girls. Now Marie, Pauline and Margot are young women, pursuing careers in human resources, the law and preparing for the Bac.

It was during this recent trip, when I was catching up with the girls, laughing about the latest must-have Parisian fashion accessory, that I realized we could all be friends. Now I look forward to continuing my friendship with the Le Bras family.

Not only did the Rassias program help me improve my language skills, but it also gave me an extended family in France. Thank you!"
