Overview
Intended for students with advanced French language skills, the School in Cameroon enables students to increase their language abilities through housing and interaction with native speakers. Whether spending time with house mates, in classes, or in the city, students use their language in a very real immersion environment.
As Cameroon’s economic and political capital, Yaoundé is an ideal place for immersion into Francophone African life. Students take courses conducted entirely in French at both the program center (humanities and language) and the Université Catholique de l'Afrique Centrale (social sciences).
