Saint-Denis International School in Loches
Pursuing excellence in an international environment
Saint-Denis International School is located in the beautiful Loire Valley, near the towns of Tours and Blois.
Founded in 1858, Saint-Denis is a high-profile school that has been committed to the pursuit of excellence for over 160 years. The school offers state-of-the-art facilities, a ‘French as a foreign language’ course as well as extensive cultural, artistic and sporting programs - including a Pre-Professional 3x3 Basketball program.
As a small-size school, Saint-Denis aims to provide individual support to each of their students following the school's phylosophy: that academic excellence is just as important as personal development, and that students become autonomous learners and participate in school life.

Your accommodation
From Monday to Friday, you will stay at the school's boarding house with both French and international students. There are two separate boarding houses (male/female students) either on campus or a 5-minute bus ride away in the countryside. The boarding houses have modern rooms, en-suite facilities and wi-fi access. It is a safe, studious environment with staff living on site and offering evening study periods and special activities (sports, birthday parties, arts...) to boarders.
On weekends and on school holidays, you will stay with a local host family. Your French hosts will treat you as a family member and offer you a unique insight into the French way of life.
