In addition to its central containment, the College International de Cannes offers other advantages: it helps students from all corners of the world to meet in an environment of mutual understanding and tolerance, exactly as Paul Valery, its founder, would have wished.

The French language teaching team at College International de Cannes is made up of 30 French professors holding university teaching degrees. They are trained in the latest teaching techniques and share many years experience teaching French as a foreign language. The French teachers have a very lively and efficient teaching approach using original methods and resources. The French Language program guarantees continuity from one level to the other. Integrated into campus life, the teachers are constantly aware of the learning difficulties and progress of each of their students. Each student is required to participate actively and regularly in class, and encouraged to have systematic oral practice in the language. All aspects of the French language are stressed. The Exchange Language Club is based on a very simple idea: drawing on French people from Cannes who want to practice a foreign language. Under this system, participants spend 6 to 8 hours per week together conversing in French half of the time and the other half in the foreign student's native language.
There is a staff of 5 coordinators dedicated solely to programming activities and entertainment for the students. For each session, the College International de Cannes puts together a program featuring a variety of activities. Evening dance parties, piano bar and game parties are organized and are known to be "high-spirited".
The College International de Cannes is a test center for the exams of the Alliance Francaise and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Paris. It also prepares the students for the D.A.L.F. examinations which enable a student to enter a French university.
