The best way to improve or start a collaboration is to see partners schools for yourselves and to meet and get to know the people working in the schools. In order for you to share in the exciting developments taking place throughout the LAL Group we have decided to open our doors to our partners - existing and new - by holding a famtrip in October 2006.

What do students say about LAL Fort Lauderdale and the USA?

“I love my teachers...they make the classes a lot of fun, not like school at home. My favorite teacher here is Wendy. She is very funny and makes us laugh all the time. ” (Jordan Aubaterre)

"Fort Lauderdale is a great place to visit. I enjoyed the beach, Galleria Shopping Mall and eating at McDonald’s." (Francois Olivaud)

"The weekend excursions organized by the school were the best. Universal Islands of Adventure was my favorite. The Dueling Dragons® roller-coaster was the best ride and most exciting roller coaters I have ever been on in my life." (Margaux Benitah)

Group of Students

"The nationality mix was the highlight of my stay at LAL Fort Lauderdale. Having an opportunity to meet students from all over the world was both educational and rewarding." (Beryl Latrasse)

"I was really pleased with the attention of the LAL Fort Lauderdale staff to my students. I have been escorting groups for SILC for 14 years, mainly to England. This is my first time bringing a group to the USA and I look forward to escorting more groups in the near Future." (SILC group leader Jean Francois Pernot)

"I could not have had a better family! They were always available to help and inform me. We all had a lot in common and had lots of great conversations during my stay. They had a swimming pool and lived within walking distance of the beach."
(Alicia Sardelli)

"Class size was excellent, with lots of individual attention. I especially enjoyed the conversation class; our teachers brought many interesting subjects to discuss. Sharing ideas with other students is what I enjoyed the most." (Eric Vernet)

"Learning a language and having fun is a great way to spend your vacation. I went to Italy last year and this year I came to the US." (Paulin Fradin)

"I have enjoyed coming to the USA. I have not only improved my English, but have also experienced the typical American way of life. I like their XL burgers, super size French fries and ice tea. "(David Bensimon)
