Hello everyone. I'm writing this post from New Jersey, honestly a bit sad to have left Provence. This was an incredible summer for me. I haven't had such a good time since I was a student myself on the program! Group dynamic is such an intrinsic part of the program, and this year we hit gold. Something about the students and the staff both created a recipe for the simplest and richest summer of my life. Having such a small group allowed the kind of personal one on one time that creates a strong family like dynamic. I was lucky enough to get to know each student on a personal basis, and watched them grow and transform through their creativity, their French language, and their own personal being. It is my goal to create a safe forum, where students feel free enough to take risks and experience their surroundings as immediately as possible. This year, I was truly moved by their achievements, on so many levels. It is not often that a girl gets to spend a summer in the south of France surrounded by such beauty and growth. It will take some time for it all to sink in. In the meantime I will post images of our grand finale, pyramid painting. As well as some images from some final projects.
All my bests
Athena
