Description

Set on an island in the St. Lawrence River, Montreal is a city where French and English cultures meet and mingle. It has an extremely attractive city centre, ideal for walking, featuring the largest number of 17-19th century buildings in North America.

The summer course for teens is held at a dedicated summer campus in central Montreal, close to shops, cafes, and many places of interest. The campus offers bright, air-conditioned classrooms as well as sports facilities and a cafeteria.

Course:

The program offers a perfect blend of French immersion lessons with a rich and varied afternoon leisure program that includes sports and cultural activities as well as excursions to many fascinating places of interest in and around Montreal. If you are staying in a Homestay you can join optional evening and weekend activities or spend time getting to know your French host family. If you are staying in the Residence you are automatically enrolled in the evening and weekend activities, giving you a great change to experience, first hand, the wonderfully unique Quebec culture!
