French High School Quebec City
Become an international student for a semester or an entire school year!
You can join our highly prestigious private school and immerse yourself in the wonders of Quebec City and its rich French-Canadian culture.
Our high school program is available from 8th to 11th grade. Our international students also continue their immersion at “home” because they live with homestay families.
They take classes in French with local students, do French classes of their level with international students, count on personalized follow up with their tutor and enjoy our rich school life and city beauties thanks to many extracurricular activities offered to them.
