Roadrunner Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Is there an Intensive French Language summer school for high schoolers in Canada? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) So I was told Canadian kids take some French proficiency exams around that age and there are prep schools for this. I haven’t looked hard or found any. But you know, Sorbonne has a “summer universityâ€. Come to Paris with me! :) Edited January 26, 2018 by madteaparty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Sorbonne one is for undergrades though, isn’t it? I need more basic stuff, like Intensive B2/C1 level courses 5 hours a day for 2 months that don’t cost 1,000 euros a week. 🤠And my DH has a strong preference for Montreal or really anywhere in Canada. Although I will take France if I can locate something reasonable. Edited January 26, 2018 by Roadrunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the ones I was looking at were 1000/week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the ones I was looking at were 1000/week OK. I am going to go back and dig for that link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I emailed you. There used to be a poster here who went to Canada for summer camp (in French)...I don’t think she posts anymore though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezyone Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I think this may be what you're looking for. I looked into this for DD but decided to hold off for a year or two. www.learningfrenchinquebec.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an in-country rep here in Bahrain of all places and he sent me a 2018 price list. I can PM it to you. ETA: I didn't read closely enough and this program is definitely not in the easily affordable category. It is one of the better programs available tho. Many of the wealthy people in this region use it. :leaving: Edited January 26, 2018 by Sneezyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did a month in France (geeze, in 1991-2?) it was $2500 w/homestay and activities but no formal instruction so this seems about right.

Legomom Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 So I was told Canadian kids take some French proficiency exams around that age and there are prep schools for this.

Come to Paris with me! :) Is this the Sorbonne one? https://www.centerforstudyabroad.com/university-paris-sorbonne/ Or is it directly with the University? Ds17 is looking for a french immersion program in Quebec or France. Also, to the op, my son found some reviews/comments on trip advisor. One of the host families said that they have seen the best results with Quebec-Monde and Bouchereau Lingua International. That comment was from 2012, so I do not know if that still holds true.

Ds17 is looking for a french immersion program in Quebec or France. I was talking about this, which is not exactly language instruction (they state they assume a level B2 but are not checking. These seem more like enrichment lectures for adults it seems, not necessarily a class with homework and the like.) I thought I saw language classes on the same site but can't find now. http://universite.ete.sorbonne-universites.fr/cycles-de-cours.html Edited, here, for the language classes: http://universite.ete.sorbonne-universites.fr/cours-de-fle.html I have no experience with either at this point in time.
