CAMPUS LANGUES

What CAMPUS LANGUES does

CAMPUS LANGUES (legal entity C F I L C SAS, €38,000 share capital) is a private French language institute founded in 1996 and headquartered in Paris. It operates four physical campuses — three in Paris 19e and one in Boulogne-Billancourt — supported by a headcount of approximately 32 employees, and serves more than 4,000 learners per year drawn from roughly 150 nationalities, with a self-reported 90% student satisfaction rate. The institute is quality-certified under the "Label Le contrat Qualité" issued by l'Office de Garantie des Séjours linguistiques et Educatifs, positioning it within the regulated French language-travel segment.

The company's product portfolio spans French as a Foreign Language (FLE) — including Étudiant 20H, Prépa Université, Découverte, Cours du soir, Cours d'été, Cours en ligne, Au pair, and thematic workshops — and English programs (Intensif Étudiant, Intensif Progress, Cours d'été, English Online). Test preparation for TOEIC and TOEFL, together with room-rental services, is operated through the CLASSECO subsidiary. The technology stack centers on the CAMPUS LANGUES Online e-learning platform (50 hours of thematic exercises, online level testing, video and telephone coaching) and the MonCampus portal, with English content supplied via a partnership with YesMag. The supporting ecosystem includes partnerships with Estudines (accommodation), Championnet Sports, Cité de la Musique, Belushi's, Climbing District, MJM Graphic Design, Student Concierge Club, and Mister Bilingue.

The business model combines subscription-style in-person course packages, one-time-license online e-learning (e.g., €99 for 50 hours), coaching packages (Express Coaching €290; Intensive Coaching €495), à la carte hourly pricing from €6/hour, and ancillary registration fees (€70) plus pre-registration fees (€135), with revenue supplemented by CLASSECO's test-prep and room-rental streams. The go-to-market is primarily B2C across international students, professionals, au pairs, and seasonal learners in the Paris market, with an online channel extending geographic reach beyond the four physical sites. No public revenue or ARR figures are disclosed, and there is no indication of AI-driven personalization, adaptive learning, or proprietary data assets underlying the platform.
