Saint-Raphaël Leisure and Recreation
The purpose of our school is to teach the French language to foreigners: adults and children…. Not acting as a social contact with other students who are having psychosocial difficulties
If there are contacts between kids ?... Ok that's good... Otherwise it's up to you as a parent to organize that in Saint-Raphaël, after 12:30 p.m. ……. The teachers at our school have been teaching French…as a foreign language and have been doing it well…for a long time….in small groups of max 5 - 6 kids All the leisure , sport and recreation activities are only optional … Due to diifferent exceptions and wishes of individuals and families , they have their own program
Significant changes have taken place in recent years in the priorities of families with children... following pandemics, Covid-19 with new variants, Children's Leisure Centers with risk of contamination by mingling , runaway inflation which hits all sporting activities, a threatening extension of the war in Ukraine , unemployment which affects many people etc….
Which means that we are reducing these leisure activities within the framework of school... But you can continue to practice them privately..
We continue to show you below the various leisure options possible in Saint-Raphaël in the afternoon. …and the week.end
A Friday evening, a friendly gathering in the garden of our school with teachers : Songs and appetizers …. Free discussions and free language options
