Homestay
Living with a host family will allow you to become more familiar with Canadian and Québec culture and give you an opportunity to practice the language that you are studying. Host families generally live no more than 45 minutes from our school.
Based on a form that you will have completed, we will select a host family that matches your preferences. We will send you a profile of the family and, if you wish, you may exchange a few emails with them before you arrive.
