Services
The French & Surf Academy Focus on:
- Quality French Tuition.
- Quality Surf Instruction.
- Ensuring the necessary safe and fun environment for such a unique experience.
Mission Statement
At the Academy we strive to offer the best possible French tuition alongside top quality surf instruction. We aim to
create a positive learning environment in the classroom and on the water. We want to offer students a unique experience that
will help to empower them with the lifelong skills of French and surfing in a safe and beautiful setting.
Ethos
We believe in and promote the development of a sound mind in a sound body. We also believe in a spirit of fairness and
respect for the individual.
Camp Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on the assumption that all camp members come to have fun, improve their French and learn how to
surf or improve their surfing. It is our job to ensure that we create a safe environment to make that possible. We encourage
respect for each other, the language, the sea and the sport (surfing).
All students will vary in ability on the water and in the classroom. We want beginner surfers to enjoy learning with us and
intermediate/ advanced surfers to enjoy improving with us. The instructors are always delighted to see newcomers to the sport.
In the classroom respect must be shown to the teacher and classmates at all times. We have a strict no tolerance policy in
terms of bullying.
Company
The French & Surf Academy is a trade name of The Sport & Language Academy Ltd. The Academy was formed in 2008 by
Company Director Alec Barrett. The Academy offers an educational, sporting and socially interactive learning experience. Our
company number is 458822.
Quality Control
The French & Surf Academy is the only internally managed French language and Surf school in the world. There are
websites and language companies who offer a French and Surf package but all aspects of their services are outsourced. We are
proud to control all aspects of our French tuition, surf instruction and camps in general. This enables us to employ the best
possible resources, both human and physical. By focusing on French for the Irish Leaving Certificate and surf instruction we
offer a service which is unbeatable in terms of quality and value.
