Explore - Five Week Credit Program
The spring session of Explore will be offered ONLINE in 2022.
Our online credit programming features our partner town of Trois-Pistoles and offers a variety of activities that will provide you with the foundation to learn French and experience Quebecois culture from the comfort of your own home.
At the French Immersion School, we emphasize an integrated approach to learning. All elements of the online program - the courses, the workshops, 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 full-year university credit from Western University
- Improve your vocabulary and pronunciation
- Practice your speaking skills with other students at the same level of French
- Virtually explore the culture of Quebec
- Make lasting memories while experiencing something totally unique
* If you are interested in an in-person immersion experience, please apply for our summer session.
Courses
Take one full course or two half courses (75 hours) to earn a full-year university credit.
