The APS Travel Bugs™ program is perfect for young learners beginning their French journey. Open to students with no prior knowledge of French, the program runs from September 14, 2026, to May 28, 2027. Students meet weekly for a 60-minute group class, with the option to add a 30-minute private tutoring class. Students can choose to enroll for a single session or commit to the full school year.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The APS Travel Bugs™ program uses the Listen. Absorb. Speak.™ method to teach French in a fully immersive environment. At this level, students deepen their knowledge through independent, hands-on activities such as storytelling, art, and cultural exploration. Lessons are task-oriented and multi-sensory, allowing students to apply French in meaningful contexts.
Our specially designed syllabus is crafted to spark curiosity and encourage active participation. While the focus remains on communication and immersion, phonetic and grammar rules are occasionally introduced in response to students’ questions and interests. You can review the list of topics here.
