Money wasted!

Edu-Inter French School had everything it needed to be a successful school and to deliver what it promises. Unfortunately, the only thing it truly excels at is its sales department. Before you enroll, they are extremely attentive and responsive. Once you become a student, however, the experience changes completely. After the first-day tour, the on-site sales representative becomes a very different person, someone clearly uninterested in listening to complaints, let alone helping students receive what they paid for. I suppose that if the student is a teenager enrolled in their Summer Program, the focus on immersion through field trips and fun may work. However, as a language teacher myself, I was deeply disappointed to see how unprepared the teachers are to handle a multicultural group of adult learners. One of my roommates, from Bosnia, explicitly stated that she did not want to discuss war-related topics, yet the subject continued to come up in class. There is a complete lack of cultural sensitivity. Teachers fail to distinguish between purposeful classroom discussion and sharing their personal opinions, often spending a significant portion of the class talking while students sit quietly, confused, and struggling to follow along. When I raised these concerns, I was told this was simply part of “exposing students to the language” — LOL. As if listening to a teacher rant for over 40 minutes about how angry she was with the Canadian government for allegedly stealing billions from the motor vehicle department were an effective method of “listening with a purpose.” That is both disrespectful and laughable. The school invests heavily in marketing and promotions, yet not at all in equipment or teacher training. Lessons lack structure and progression. Teachers introduce delicate, politically sensitive topics, freely share personal opinions, and speak nonstop for entire class periods. There is no pedagogical plan whatsoever. In fact, one teacher even asked students to teach grammar to one another. Perhaps this mediocre curriculum works with young students who don’t know any better, but the school needs to seriously revamp its pedagogical planning and raise its standards if it wants to remain competitive. I did not pay for six weeks of French classes to listen to other students teach. Student presentations can be valuable for language production and practice, but the level of confusion in class was unbearable. Toward the end, I became so frustrated that I stopped attending altogether. Ironically, I learned more by studying on my own. Teachers urgently need proper training, and the school desperately needs better customer service. AVOID this school if you value your money.

Disappointed

The academic aspect was very good- the teaching staff gets 4 out of 5 stars. But, from the school failing to advise the volunteer driver that I needed to be picked up and taken to the airport, to them failing to find or let me know about my accommodations until the afternoon before I left to fly there, I found the organization and management very poor. I am a senior citizen with mobility issues, and most of there local activities were geared toward young people and adolescents. When I wrote a letter about being owed $500 by them, they never even acknowledged receiving my letter, and when I phoned to complain, nobody called back. Overall I am forced to give the school 4 out of 10.

What fun!

My wife and I just spent a week at Edu-Inter, an intensive, full immersion French school located in Québec City. My wife was almost a rank beginner, while I was placed into an advanced class. (I’m not sure, but I think many schools do not have beginner and advanced classes in the same week.) We both elected the Super-Intensive option, which is 27 1/2 hours per week and both learned a LOT! I’d guess my wife learned as much in the week as she had in a semester in her introductory college course. My self-confidence increased dramatically. The only problem we had during the week was that many of the teachers and staff members had Québec accents, ranging from very slight to fairly thick. We’re used to the Parisian accent, so we really had to concentrate to understand the Québec accent. We chose the “home stay” option and the school placed us with a wonderful family. Both the food and the conversation were great, (I heard from some other students that not everyone has such a wonderful experience with their host family, but ours was really great.) Just FYI, we’re both senior citizens, while most of the students appeared to be in their 20’s or 30’s, but this didn’t present a problem to them or to us.

Want to learn to speak French? ...then this the place is for you!

I have 'studied' french in the classroom or with apps for years. I can conjugate the living daylights out of a verb...but I can"t communicate very well. Enter Edu Inter! While still a classroom setting, we spend most of our time in conversation with the Prof or the other students (we even go outside to chat with 'les Quebecois' too). Yes it was uncomfortable to speak, I made so many mistakes and it was at times embarrassing especially for a grown adult. But the placement test had me in the right class and after day 2 I began to relax my perfectionism and I started to embrace being a learner. I absolutely recommend this school for both teens and adults. You will not regret coming to Quebec City and Edu Inter to learn to speak french!!

It used to be good, but it's changed

I went to this school about five years ago, and it was excellent. I learned a lot in two weeks. The curriculum was communicative, so even when we learned grammar, we learned it in context; we used the grammar to communicate. The desks were in a semi-circle, and we had lots of activities. Also, I lived with a family with whom I spoke in French all the time, and who took me places on the weekend. However, I just went back again, and it’s completely different. Maybe it’s under new management, but I would not recommend it at all, and I will never go back there. I went for three weeks, and I tried three different teachers, but they were all the same. The general French in the morning is three hours of fill-in-the-blank grammar lessons. They are boring and there is very little speaking. It got so boring that I eventually just stopped going to classes the last few days; it just wasn’t worth it. It was like learning French in high school. Even the desks were set up like in high school, all facing the teacher. The afternoon class was a little better, but not that much; it just wasn’t worth it. Also, it was extremely hot, and there’s no air conditioning in the school. The little fans they have don’t help that much. Speaking of the heat, let’s talk about the living situation. Since I registered late, they couldn’t find a homestay right away but were nice enough to let me rent a room in the residences next to the school. They also had no air conditioning and not even fans! Also, each room is set up with two little desk lamps, so it was dark and hot in there all day and night. They supplied us with two little cups and three little glasses. I won’t get into details about the kitchen stuff, but that gives you an idea of how little was supplied. It was also filthy. But it could have been worse; people in the apartment next door all said their apartment was infested with earwigs. The second week I was given a “host family.” This was a man from Martinique, who was in his 30’s. I’d originally signed up for breakfast and dinner with him, but since the food at the school was so bad and there’s nowhere near school to eat, I asked for lunch as well. So this is what he made: Saturday afternoon, he bought a ready-made chicken and he made some plain noodles. Then he left me with no dinner. Sunday afternoon, he made overcooked pork chops and plain rice. Again no dinner, but get this: He told me that for lunch on Monday I could take the pork chops and rice! It was like living with a roommate from college but for some reason he was cooking for me. But it could have been worse; I heard about some people who were fed two corn-on-the-cobs for dinner. Yes, it can always be worse…at Edu Inter. So I tried to move back to the residence, since it wasn’t quite as bad as the “homestay,” and the homestay was an hour away. But they told me the residences were all filled up. But my ex-roommate told me there was still a room at my old place that had never filled up. But they didn’t know that because they had someone listed as staying there who wasn’t. Basically, they were completely disorganized and on top of it seemed to be uninterested in the teaching of French. They were just trying to make as much money as possible while doing the least amount of work. Oh yeah, and the classes ended up having between 16-21 students. So really not a good school anymore. But at least it was near the plaines d’abraham, which is pretty.

Fantastic learning experience at Edu-Inter!

Edu-Inter is a fantastic program! I have been there in both the summer and winter and each time was exciting, fun and a very memorable experience. The staff and teachers were top-notch. My teacher made the classes completely engaging with interactive activities that ranged from clear grammar instruction to speaking, reading and writing practice. He created a warm atmosphere in which we all got to know each other and loved coming to class. In addition, I took full advantage of entertaining and educational after-school programs that allowed us to practice our French even more. Some of the summer activities included biking, an historic tour of the city, sharing an afternoon coffee at the revolving restaurant and going to an breath-taking outdoor acrobatic event. It is a "must do" to partake in all the outdoor winter activities such as cross-country skiing, sledding, visiting the ice hotel and ice skating. So much fun! Also, I thoroughly enjoyed my homestay experience. My host mother spoke with me only in French and we got along extremely well from the very start. It was a sheer delight to take part in all that Edu-Inter has to offer and I would highly recommend this program to all ages!

Outstanding immersion experience

Edu-inter is a great school. I have attended classes at Alliance Française and a French language school in France. This is the best language learning experience I have found. I judge the schools on three criteria, 1.) the quality of the teachers. 2.) the curriculum, and 3.) the materials and support. The teachers were outstanding. I spent twelve weeks in the school. I had a Swiss teacher in the first six weeks. I had a French teacher in the last six weeks. Both teachers were better than any other French teachers I have had in the past. They were creative, demanding, extremely professional and extraordinarily helpful. My French proficiency developed rapidly. The curriculum was sensible. We were evaluated through an introductory interview and placed accordingly. There was sufficient flexibility to allow for fine tuning of the placement when appropriate. The use of French exclusively (or nearly so) is a part of the practical curriculum. French is spoken at meals and during breaks. I chose to participate in the intensive program which included learning techniques like games, community interaction through practical exercises and weekly group presentations. In the final weeks of my stay, I had private and semi-private lessons which were very helpful. An important part of the total learning experience was the extracurricular weekly activity schedule. This includes local tours of historical or cultural importance, as well as, day trips to the parks and other nature sites of interests. All these options made for a truly immersive experience. The materials and support facilitated the overall experience. The textbooks were very good and illustrated the grammar based on dialogue. Internet resources were introduced using videos and other free online learning platforms. The wifi permitted the use of online reference materials (dictionaries, conjugations, etc.) via smartphones. The administrative team did an excellent job with arranging home stays or other accommodation options, banking assistance and practical information about getting around town. I always felt like I was welcome with my questions or requests for assistance. Quebec is beautiful in the summer. It was a welcome break from the heat and humidity of Houston. It is also a very lively place with its Fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Québec National Holiday), Festival d'été de Québec (two week Summer Festival), New France Festival and many other activities and attractions around town. One other very important point, the Quebecois are very friendly and open. You can easily start a conversation with nearly everyone on the street. For anyone from middle schoolers to retirees (like me) who are interested in learning French and experiencing the Quebec summers, I doubt you can beat Edu-inter.

Great French language program for adults!

I'm an English professor whose French language skills are at the immediate level. I found Inter-edu to be an effective and fun way to help me improve. The program evaluates your written and oral skills before placing you at the right level. Classes are small and taught by dynamic, experienced teachers. You can choose the intensive option and continue classroom study deep into the afternoon. In the evening, you can choose from different cultural activities in the beautiful city of Quebec. I had a wonderful time and left feeling I had improved my listening, writing, and oral skills. I'm looking forward to returning!

A teacher's summer

Knowing I would have a more demanding teaching schedule in September, I began looking for French immersion programs in the winter. I came across Edu-Inter online and began to plan for a way to temporarily abandon my family to take classes and experience a homestay. I found both in July, 2017, in Quebec with Edu-Inter. The registration/application process was easy and I always received a prompt email response to all my initial questions. The program was well-organized and I had a wonderful experience in my "famille d'accueil", despite a longer-than-expected trip to school each day by bus (now I am an expert!). The C1 class was intense and I learned a lot (la spiritualité/la religion chez les Québecois, et le vin). The French for French Teachers course was also very useful. I have already used ideas from both classes and resources that I received, here in NJ (USA). I highly recommend this program to French teachers (new & experienced). Don't be scared of "le québecois" - you will adapt to the differences in language quickly. The optional afternoon/evening & weekend excursions were varied (changed each week) and interesting. Take advantage of the city & surrounding area! Overall, a great program. I am looking forward to going back.

My 13 year old daughter who is shy and a beginner at French went to the 3 week multi activity camp this year and had a very positive experience. The host family included her in their family activities and took a proactive interest making her feel welcome. Her interaction with them were some of the best stories and clearly most memorable times of the trip. The French classes in the morning were a little overwhelming at first for her but she gradually became more comfortable about participating in the classes. I could definitely see the improvement and ease she had with the language upon returning home. The activities in the afternoons were fun and diverse enough to appeal to all students. My daughter will be attending the camp again next year.

Week in Quebec city

I am trying to improve my written and spoken French, so I spent a week at Edu-Inter while on vacation in Quebec City. The course was fully immersive and required that we speak entirely in French, which enabled me to improve faster than if I had been able to speak in English. My instructor, Fabrice, was very dynamic and did a good job of keeping the class engaged. The activities were quite varied, which made the 5-hour days go by quickly. I wish that I could have stayed longer so that I could have learned more!

Reflection of 3 weeks summer camp of my son

October 27, 2017by: Andrei Mamoutkine - United States

First of all, it's a wonderful opportunity for anybody who would like to improve their French (any level). Taking in mind quality per money ration it's the best offer. Similar local (US) programs cost fortune in comparison. Going to France is a bit more challenging. Canada and especially Quebec City is the best choice. It's immersion indeed. All classes in French. Lot's of activities around the city and "french" Canada. Wonderful hosting family. Very informal, spending a lot of time together. The only minor thing that a bit shadows this program is globalization. Obviously, it's not the fault of the school. Where ever students go for the "extracurricular" activity - students test out local stuff for knowing the English. No surprise - they could speak and understand... From that point it was hard to switch to French from even poor English. But that's up to the student what he want. Probably for the true immersion you have to go to the rural Quebec areas. Anyway, 3 weeks fly like a moment. It was a great experience and submersion. Lots of good memories. Much more opened mind for French language. No fear how to say or how to ask. Very pleasant time. Definitely recommend to learning French.

Teenager exhausted in fun

My twin boys and I stayed in this school for two months, and I think next time they would be able to return by themselves. Mornings are with French; afternoons and Saturdays are in various activities. My boys came home exhausted and ready to tell me stories every day. If parents are planning on a vacation, this is a good place to send their children to. Plus, Quebec City is a cool place in summer. The French language, with its heavy rules of inflection, had seemed difficult to me and I spent a year to adjust to this language. As beginners, after the two months of the program, my boys started to love French and would like to continue with the learning.

Fiona spent three weeks living with a host family, attending classes, playing tennis and getting to know Quebec City. She thoroughly enjoyed her stay, spoke only French and came away with a greater understanding of our neighbor to the north. Hats off to Edu-Inter for a well-run, engaging program!

This is a terrible camp. It is a scam. It sounds good and lots of promises are made. Counselors are young and inexperienced and not well supervised. Campers are not fed well or housed well. Simply, it's not a safe place to send your kids.

Our daughter has traveled from Texas to Quebec for two consecutive summers for French immersion. She's had a wonderful experience both times. Each visit she was able to advance 2 levels with her French. Her second visit was even more extraordinary given that she was already familiar with the fun program and beautiful city. She had such warm and accommodating homestay families and has kept in touch with friends she met. We highly recommend this program !! Our daughter was 16 and 17 years of age.

French immersion in Quebec

This program was fantastic! I cannot say enough about the warmth, kindness and diligence of the staff and instructors. I was appropriately placed in my level (which many programs struggle with). The class focused on the 4 skills, culture and history. The instructors are flexible enough to allow for student activity and content suggestions. There is a program for everyone at every level with every interest and I appreciate the variety of options. They also have plenty of cultural activities scheduled after class every day so you get to know Quebec very well. This was my first time in Quebec and at Edu Inter and I would return in a heartbeat. The location is fantastic, only a beautiful walk to Old Quebec. Edu Inter cares about you, your learning and showing you what a beautiful area Quebec City is.

French immersion in Québec

June 27, 2017by: Oscar Pinto - Canada

Québec City is a gem with its unique French Canadian culture. I started studying French about two years ago and in August 2016 went to Québec City for the weekend to put it into practice. The people of the city were so accepting and patient as I struggled to speak with them in French that I decided to look for an immersion program. I found Edu-inter. Unsure of what to expect, I signed up for one week starting June 19, 2017. As soon as I was done, I was inquiring about returning. The school welcomes students of all ages from around the globe for varying lengths of stay. Even though I was older than most of the students, I felt completely at ease. I was welcomed by the teachers from the very first day and even after I returned home, corrected assignments were emailed to me. A full week of total immersion at Edu-inter (Super-Intensive program) and in Québec City boosted my confidence. I definitely plan on returning.

Studying French in beautiful Quebec

I spent two weeks in the super intensive program at Edu-Inter. The staff quickly assessed my rather unorthodox French language skills and assigned me to just the right level class. I enjoyed the academic work which was challenging and engaging. The other students were welcoming and helpful. I opted for the home stay option within a 30 minute walk of the school and that was perfect for me. My hostess was delightful and made lovely meals for me every day. I liked having the opportunity to speak French outside of class and over the weekends. Quebec is a lovely city to walk through and I was happy to have the opportunity to take different routes each day to school so I could get a sense of the city. I was a little nervous going to a school that I only knew through the Internet and living for two weeks with a complete stranger but it turned out to be an exceptional experience and truly worth the gamble. My only regret is that I could not stay longer.

Older adult at Edu-inter in Quebec

I am an older adult (semi-retired) and spent a week at Edu-inter learning French. The program is administered professionally and is excellent. I had a combination of didactic and semi-private conversational classes that were superb. My teacher was outstanding (Mme Lord) and was able to explain everything in French, even to a beginner like me! My stay with the host family was very good and my host treated me as a family member. He gave me a tour of the city and the bus system on the first day, so that I could take it to school every day. The bus system is a very efficient, easy, and not difficult at all. Quebec and the Quebecois are wonderful, kind and welcoming. It is one of the safest cities in the world. The best compliment that I can give, is that I plan to go back for another session at Edu-inter and continue to improve my knowledge of French.

Outstanding language school, far exceeding my expectations

September 08, 2015by: L. Jaffe - Cambridge, MA

I attended Edu-Inter’s Super-Intensive French program for 7 weeks. I started at level 3 (A1.1) and finished in level 7 (B2.2). I had only taken one semester of French before arrival. The teachers are excellent, but, more importantly, the staff members of Edu-Inter work with students to practice French outside of the classroom in dealing with day-to-day needs—a “French-only” policy is strictly enforced. Therefore, paying a bill become a learning situation using French with Keven, or discussing lodgings with Julie, running into Zorica in the elevator, chatting with Yan, Vanessa, Tommy, Guillaume, or even meeting previous instructors, in the hallways and staircases during breaks. This encourages students not just to learn French but to feel comfortable using it inside and outside of Edu-Inter. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard University, and I need French to take literature courses in French. After my time at Edu-Inter, I have the confidence that I would not have been able to acquire in such a short time of language instruction; and this is what Edu-Inter means by “immersion”—feeling comfortable in the language. I would definitely return to study at Edu-Inter and recommend it to anyone interested in studying French. Be assured that before and during your time at Edu-Inter, the staff will work with you to accommodate any insecurities you may be feeling, especially at the beginning, as is normal in any language program. Tommy patiently exchanged nearly 40 emails with me answering questions and working with me to find the appropriate program and time frame for my studies. A very special thanks to all of the Edu-Inter instructors and staff for what I have accomplished, and a profound thank-you to Guillaume, the academic administrator, for his support throughout my time in the program.

je suis tellement contente de prendre le français avec Edu-Inter, parce que, il est très nécessaire d'avoir toute l'immersion dans la langue qu'on doit apprendre et ici je l'ai obtenue. Et surtout, les activités qui se font en salle de classe, a l extérieur de l'école, ont fait que mon français soit très claire pour moi. De plus, l'environ est très beau, l'école n'est pas chère et le personnel avec qui on travaille sont des belles personnes.

Estoy muy contenta de los resultados. no me arrepiento de haber venido. Hay varias actividades para hacer y todas muy buenas.

O comprometimento do meu professor (Simon) em sempre esclarecer qualquer duvida e deixar o aprendizado de uma nova lingua mais facil foi surpreendente! Progredi meu francês e consegui os resultados esperados. C'est super!

Ich habe drei Wochen bei Edu-Inter Französisch studiert. In Deutschland habe ich zuvor noch nie Französisch in der Schule gehabt. Bei Edu-Inter wird nur Französisch gesprochen, wodurch man sehr schnell in die Sprache hineinfindet. Die Lehrer sind sehr sympatisch und für alle Fragen offen und man kann sehr schnell seine sprachlichen Fähigkeiten verbessern. Nach meinen Kurs ist es mir jetzt möglich mich in Französisch zu verständigen. Ich bedanke mich bei der Schule für das gute Programm, was meine Entwicklung in Französisch sehr geholfen hat. Auch die Stadt Quebec ist wunderschön und ich empfehle jeden hier einmal zu wohnen.

I studied at Édu-Inter for 3.5 months, hoping to enhance my level of French in order to return to Ontario to find a job teaching French in the public education system. I am very pleased with the progress that I have made and attribute it equally to the excellent teaching that I received during my intensive French classes and to the unique homestay program that is offered through Édu-Inter. Everyone whom I met in Québec was warm and welcoming and were genuine in their efforts to help me immerse myself in the language and culture: it was definitely a special experience that I will not soon forget.

Living in Quebec is like living in a completely different country, while still in Canada. The language, views, and lifestyle are all unique factors in making Quebec a destination for an experience of a lifetime. Edu-Inter helps aid in this experience with its structured program and well rounded activities. You will find yourself not only learning a new language here, but learning more about yourself. Edu-Inter gives that unconditional acceptance to help you do so.

When I first arrived in Quebec City I instantly fell in love! Quebec City is very tourist friendly and the view is breathtaking. In my opinion Edu-Inter is a very effective program to learn french because they push you beyond your limits and at the same time you make lifetime friends from all over the world. My host family went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable. I will never forget the special memories I made with them. I recommend this 5 star program to anyone, you won't be disappointed!

Edu-Inter is a great program that really helped me improve my French. The teachers and administration are very supportive and helpful and really take a priority in making sure the students understand the material. They really take the time for their students and the classes are well organized and even fun! I took French immersion courses in primary and high school and I picked this program to improve my French after not studying French for over 5 years. I found the courses very organized and flexible and I was finally understanding material I never really understood in all my years studying in the past. It was finally sinking in. It was great to live in Quebec City and be in the heart of Quebecois culture and history. I`ve made friends from all over the world and I even became involved in a French play. I highly recommend this program and I can`t wait to visit Quebec City again!

Edu-inter has provided me with a truly genuine French immersion experience. The school is very flexible with it`s acceptance of students every monday and it`s ability to cater to the specific needs of students in course offerings. I feel very lucky to have found the program, with my unique situation of bringing two of my young children here, to live with an excellent host family. After eight weeks of study I am ready to bring our family back together. I will be retourning home with a great boost in my french language skills and a 1 and a 2 year old who comprehend French, thanks to a local daycare that Edu-inter helped me find. Génial!!

well, if you want a good course I highly recommend EDU-INTER in quebec. It's located in the 755 Grande Allee close to downtown and all sorts of atractions. I personaly picked the language up in about 4 months. I loved my beginners class had a blast in intermidiate and dont get me started in advanced the teachers are all awesome and great people believe me, you will not be disapointed, Edu-Inter is the option to go.

Mi experiencia con EduInter

Mi nombre es Cinthia y soy peruana. Cuando llegue a Quebec City hace 6 semanas no sabia casi nada de frances y me sentia perdida porque estaba viviendo en una ciudad completamente francofona. Por lo tanto, decidi inscribirme en Edu Inter para poder aprender el idioma. La experiencia fue totalmente positiva porque la escuela tiene una politica de hablar unicamente en frances entre los estudiantes y el staff de EduInter. Ademas, mi profesora de nivel principiante tenia mucha paciencia y las clases eran muy dinamicas, a pesar de tener un nivel basico del idioma. La escuela esta equipada con todos las herramientas necesarias como una biblioteca, cafeteria, gimnasio, entre otros. Me siento feliz de haber elegido a EduInter como mi escuela de frances porque puedo regresar a Peru satisfecha de haber aprendido el idioma, conocer personas de todo el mundo y de haber vivido en Quebec, una ciudad segura que tiene mucho encanto.

L'école est l'une des meilleures institutions ou j'ai étudié. La combinaison des classes et les activités qu'on fait dans les cours de conversation sont tellement efficaces.Les activités que les professeurs utilisent ont l'air d'être des taches simples mais, même si on joue seulement, toutes ces choses sont les petites répétitions dont on a besoin pour vraiment commencer a utiliser les sujets qu'on vient d'étudier chaque jour, et pour essayer de maîtriser une langue.

A pesar de que mi estadía fue corta en el programa, aprendí rápidamente el francés. Fue una muy grata experiencia, superó todas mis expectativas. Estudiar el idioma fue mucho más fácil de lo que pensé, gracias a la profesora, que nos ayudó muchísimo y buscó siempre la mejor manera para que podamos aprender.

Well, first of all, im from the Dominican Republic and went to college Merici to study french with the EDU INTER PROGRAM, but, i was not with the whole program of staying at home, its a great program, you learn a lot, you communicate with the teachers and theres a cool enviroment, not only the classes but the fieldtrips that you make, the people that you get to know, i highly recommend this program for any fellow latino, you have mejicanos, colombianos,uruguayos under the same roof, also you have people from Montreal that only speak english and they would like to learn some french.- Theres a lot of culture and art involved in Quebec, in my words, Quebec it is Europe for the poor hahaha, i recommend the gastronomy, the restaurants are lovely and with great dishes, edu inter opened my eyes to the world that is out there and if you take your french courses seriously, youll do great

Great Experience!

When we were looking for a French immersion program for our 15 year old son, we had trouble finding reviews for any programs and the few for the Edu-inter program in Quebec City were negative. We were nervous, but after corresponding with a representative of the program decided to go ahead. So glad we did! Our son spent two weeks at the program in July and had an amazing experience. He stayed on the campus and spent the morning in French class and in the afternoons participated in horseback riding for a week and multi-activity camp for a week. He loved every minute of the experience and really improved his French language skills. He had a fantastic French teacher and made many friends from around the world. Attending during the Quebec summer festival was terrific. He loved the horseback riding at the beautiful stables about 20 minutes from the school but found that most of the other students participated in the multi-activity program. The administration was great at communicating with us about the details. We would highly recommend the Edu-inter teen French immersion program.
