Description:
About the NRCSA Center Located in Paris' historic left bank, and housed in a 17th century building. The NRCSA Center employs modern facilities that include: 15 classrooms, a lecture hall, a multimedia learning center, a foyer, and a terrace. Additionally, it is in walking distance of Notre Dame Cathedral, the Orsay Museum, and the Louvre. There is a strong commitment teaching languages at the very highest level of quality, and through this commitment the NRCSA Center in Paris retains membership in several quality control organizations, such as EAQUALS and ARELS. The school is run in association with the cultural department of Migros Vaud. All teachers are specially trained and qualified, and specialize in language instruction to foreigners. All teachers are native French speakers. Classes are taught by a team of 2 or 3 teachers. The teachers use student feedback, in weekly and daily meetings, to account for the needs of each individual in the class. About Paris The most tangible and immediate pleasures of Paris are to be found in its street life and along the lively banks of the River Seine. Few cities can compete with the cafés, bars and restaurants modern and trendy, local and traditional, humble and pretentious that line every street and boulevard. And the city's compactness makes it possible to experience the individual feel of the different quarters. You can move easily, even on foot, from the calm, almost small-town atmosphere of Montmartre and parts of the Latin Quarter to the busy commercial centres of the Bourse and Opéra or to the aristocratic mansions of the Marais. An imposing backdrop is provided by the monumental architecture of the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Hôtel de Ville, the bridges and the institutions of the state. As for entertainment, the city's strong points are in film and music. Paris is a real cinema capital, and the best Parisian music encompasses jazz, avant-garde, salsa and, currently, Europe's most vibrant African music scene.
