University Credit Course
French immersion and the town of Trois-Pistoles are made for each other. At the French Immersion School, we emphasize an integrated approach to learning. All elements of the program - the courses, the workshops, the homestay and the social and cultural activities - reinforce one another and maximize opportunities for you to hear and speak French and to enrich your cultural experience.
- Earn a university credit in French from Western University
- Improve your vocabulary and pronunciation
- Practice your speaking skills with other students at the same level of French
- Explore and enjoy the culture of Quebec
- Make lasting memories while experiencing something totally unique
