The School’s summer program in French, held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, seeks to provide our students with the opportunity to travel and live in Canada for a month, in order to interact in French in a native environment for an extended period of time.
The main objective is to provide students with an experience that contributes significantly to their learning and proficient use of the French language; to their cultural enrichment in terms of global understanding and open-mindedness; and to their personal and formative growth in terms of developing independence skills, character development and self-confidence.
The following are the specific goals of the program:
- Attend French classes during the week, with an intensity of 15 hours of classes per week, with seven levels available from beginner to advanced.
- Participate in cultural and recreational activities in the afternoons, with an intensity of 15 hours per week.
- To take part in real situations that motivate the participants to use the French language.
- Interact in French with native speakers on aspects inherent to the Canadian and Colombian cultures.
- To have a native environment that facilitates the development of the ability to think in a second or third language.

- 15 hours of French lessons per week (7 levels from beginner to advanced)
- 15 hours of recreational and cultural activities in the afternoons
