Senior Staff
At Summerfuel we are particularly proud of our extraordinary program directors, staff and faculty. We believe that strong, nurturing and experienced leadership sets the tone for a successful program. The senior staff consists of a Program Director, Residential Director, Activities Director and Academic Director. The Academic Director Michel Remy has been with Summerfuel in Nice since its inception in 1996, and he also serves as our Art History instructor. Program Director Anne Fenton joined Summerfuel in Nice in 2005, and also serves as a coordinator for Summerfuel's study abroad programs from the New York office during the academic year.
Resident Advisors (RAs)
RAs are an essential part of the Summerfuel experience and are hired solely to support and act as role models to our students. RAs are college upperclassmen or recent graduates with experience in residential life. They live on each floor, with one RA for every ten students. RAs will always be available to organize activities, provide tours around Nice, answer questions and make sure our students get the most out of their summer.
Safety & Supervision
The safety, security, and overall well-being of our students is our utmost priority. We implement the following measures to ensure our students are well cared for and safe at all times.
- 1 to 8 student to residential staff ratio
- Team of porters on staff at Lycee Massena
- Gated campus, only open to Summerfuel in Nice students
- 11pm daily curfew
- Zero tolerance for drug or alcohol use
Experience that counts
At Summerfuel we are particularly proud of our 29 years of experience and our extraordinary program directors, staff and faculty. We believe that strong, nurturing and experienced leadership sets the tone for a successful program. Our senior staff members often return year after year and both they and the Resident Advisors go through a rigorous selection process and pre-program orientation.
