Alexis Savas
Alexis's Program
Bonjour! As a French teacher from Highlands Ranch, CO, and I am excited to be leading for a fourth summer with CIEE High School Study Abroad Global Navigators. I spent past summers in Rennes on the French Language and Culture Program, in Brussels on the World Government Global Discovery Program, and London Theater Arts Behind the Scenes 2019. I can't wait to explore South Africa this summer with an amazing group of students.
Originally from Chicago, I now live in the beautiful state of Colorado. I love to travel, cook, hike, ski, go to movies, and spend time with my husband and our three cats in my free time.
