Education jobs in France

With over 60 years of experience as a study-abroad program in Paris for students from US institutions, CUPA combines a long tradition in international education with a constant desire to innovate and adapt to the evolving needs of its students. During a single semester or a full academic year, students enrolled in CUPA’s immersion can hone their French skills with personalized tutoring and discover multiple aspects of Parisian life while taking program-run courses entirely taught in French and/or direct-matriculation university classes (for students who test at the B2 level required by French universities). They may also engage in independent research projects or develop a more specialized program of study in dance or music. In the summer, CUPA offers a stimulating six-week program in Paris providing intensive work in advanced French language, a selection of content courses, exciting co-curricular and extracurricular activities and in-depth contact with the French language and culture. CUPA is a division of Paris College of Art, an independent US-accredited and US degree granting institution of higher education.
