Study Abroad Programs in Quebec City, Canada

I had an amazing time studying abroad in Quebec City. I was apart of a amazing school community and made plenty of friends. I had the best school director and my teachers were nothing but kind, supportive and amazing.

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.

I would say to definitely choose Greenheart because it was so great to work with everyone on the team. I would recommend people to go in with an open mind. I really liked how I was submerged into the culture and that I was able to meet different people from all over the world. The program was a bit disorganized at times with no solid direction or leaderships. I think that more information about the school would have improved my experience.

Go for it, take advantage of every opportunity given to you and put in your all; it will be incredibly rewarding. You'll get to learn about not only a different culture, but about a different side of yourself. I loved my host family and making new friends. You only have a limited time abroad, so leave you comfort zone behind and get to know people as quickly as you can to enjoy the time that you have.

Greenheart was very helpful and informative and i didn't have any problems with them while abroad. My favorite part of the program was that i got to learn all about the culture of Quebec. Make sure your prepared but don't overthink your before you leave. the program could be improved by a little more communication while abroad i was only gone for a week but if i were gone for more than that i would have been a little worried about lack of contact. I also wish they had told me the fact that i was going to Quebec the hottest week of the year.

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!

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!

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.

This program was one of the best experiences of my life! I made so many friends and learned so much french. I had a great host family who made me feel like right at home. There was so much diversity and culture, it was very refreshing! The people there were the best and I loved it, I would definitely return!

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.
