High School Study Abroad in Quebec City, Canada

Quebec is somewhat of an anomaly among North American cities. One of the oldest cities on the continent, it was settled at the dawn of the 17th century by a French explorer and has held closely to its Francophile heritage ever since. Though most locals understand English today, French is far and away still the most popularly spoken language in the city. If you are looking for a beautiful city with a unique culture in North America, than high school programs in Quebec might be the perfect options for you.

A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Quebec

High School Programs in Quebec

Many high school programs in Quebec are focused around French language study. Students of all levels will benefit greatly from daily language lessons, in conjunction with outside practice communicating with locals every day. Quebecois greatly appreciate any effort foreigners make to communicate with them in French, and undoubtedly there are many interesting conversations to be had with natives of Quebec.

High school programs in Quebec are not limited to language learning, however. Additionally, courses in subject areas such as history, art, and literature, are common in high school study abroad programs in Quebec. Alternatively, there are adventure programs available, which are sometimes not at all academically oriented, that focus on fun culturally immersive experiences and adventurous activities. These cultural exploration focused programs tend to be shorter but do not frequently offer academic credit, but students are sure to find this type of program to be both interesting and fun.

While most high school programs in Quebec run during the summer (typically lasting between two and eight weeks), students can also attend high school programs in Quebec for as long as a semester or full year, usually by enrolling as an exchange student. This route is a bit more difficult to configure with high schools abroad, but studying full time at a boarding school in Quebec will undoubtedly be an incredible cross-cultural experience.

Great experience

Program: French Language & Culture Immersion in Québec City, Canada

On my trip in Quebec City I had done a lot of new things and meet a lot of new people. With this program I was able to experience Quebec and it’s wonderful highlights. I also learnt a few news things in the French language, Quebec heritage and photography in general. All in all my trip was a great learning experience and I would not regret doing it again.

Program: French Language & Culture Immersion in Québec City, Canada

Overall I think it was a very good experience for my daughter. Abbey Road was well organized and provided a very safe, stimulating setting. Quebec is beautiful, and the program leader last year was outstanding. I would say she was the highlight of my daughter’s experience. The leader had taught French at both the college and high school levels and was clearly very committed to experiential learning. The group was very active, as it seemed that most days they traveled throughout the city exploring and practicing. My daughter also found it to be very safe. The kids don’t have a ton of free time. My daughter would have liked more free time but they keep them very busy, which I personally think is probably a good thing. All the kids last year got singles (no roommate) which she enjoyed. It seemed quite lively with many students on campus studying. She attended for two weeks and said her French improved quite a lot. She was not terribly confident in her French before going (and was actually quite reluctant to go for that reason). The immersion approach really seemed ideal for accelerated learning. Now that we are several months past the program, I think my daughter is starting to realize how much she grew and learned from the experience. It was not easy for her in the sense that she would rather have stayed home. She was reluctant to go. Again, I think the program director made her feel so comfortable and much more confident in her French.
