Valorme offers a full French immersion program in Foix. Foix is a characterful medieval town in the Midi Pyrenees region of southern France.

Total immersion - intensive French courses. A new class begins each Monday. The course puts emphasis on oral communication (speaking and listening, pronunciation). However, it also gives you a chance to learn or review specific grammar points and vocabulary. It allows each student to improve his/her weak points and to speak with more confidence.

Outings allow you to practise French with locals whilst discovering the area, rich in natural and cultural treasures: medieval towns and cathar castles, wonderful landscapes of the Pyrenees, prehistoric caves, traditional crafts…

Lunches provide informal conversation practice with your tutor, in nearby restaurants.

From Foix, you can easily reach many interesting places:

- Toulouse - one hour
- Carcassonne, the biggest medieval city in Europe
- The Pyrenees (hiking, skiing,…)
- World renowned well-conserved prehistoric caves
- Cathar castles, Romanesque churches and “bastides” (medieval towns)
- Andorra for its landscapes and for shopping
- The Mediterranean coast for beaches.

Accommodation: Valorme is located in a small, quiet street of the medieval town. In the same building, you will find the classroom, four comfortably furnished flats for the students, a living room and a courtyard to relax in. Your tutor, Corine and her husband have their apartment here too.

Via NASFAA:

As amended by the Senate, HR 5175 makes the following changes::

* Directs all savings generated by the bill into the ACG and SMART Grant programs

* Adds a fifth year to SMART Grant eligibility for programs that require five years

* Allows students attending at least half time to qualify for ACG and SMART Grants and requires proration based on Pell Grant methodology for less than full-time attendance

* Allows eligible non-citizens (e.g. permanent residents) to qualify for ACG and SMART Grants

* Changes “academic year” to simply “year” for purposes of progression through grant levels, but did not include companion amendment recommended by NASFAA that would have allowed students who are classified as second year based solely on AP or IB coursework to be considered to have met the second year 3.0 GPA requirement

* Allows students who are enrolled in an institution that offers a single baccalaureate-level liberal arts curriculum that permits no subject area major, but who are taking coursework in an area equivalent to a SMART-eligible major at other bachelor degree-granting institutions, to qualify for SMART Grant eligibility

* Extends first-year ACG eligibility to students enrolled in at least a one-year certificate program and extends second-year ACG to students enrolled in at least a two-year certificate program. In both cases the certificate must be offered by a degree-granting institution

* Appears to remove some of the Secretary’s authority to define “rigorous secondary school program of study,” permitting only states to designate such programs. This amendment may further restrict what is currently considered a rigorous program
