AFS Intercultural Programs: High School Abroad in Canada

by AFS-USA
Program Overview
Living with a French-speaking host family in the province of Quebec, you will learn to speak French with a North American touch and have the opportunity to utilize your language skills within your host family and community. Lovers of the great outdoors will find great adventure in exploring Quebec’s natural world, which changes with the seasons. Canada’s welcoming culture will charm you and the relationships you build are sure to last a lifetime!
Canada is a paradise for outdoor lovers and campers, with its lakes, forests, mountains and oceans. Because of the extent of its territory, Canada boasts communities from a wide variety of backgrounds; like the U.S., many people emigrate from countries like India, China, and the Philippines, so you’re sure to encounter different cultures everywhere you go.
