1. A unique opportunity to explore a university environment (the real thing) in Montréal
Imagining your child’s professional future is a time fraught with uncertainty and anxiety. Giving them a head start on demystifying the big wide world of work is a great gift. At summer school, he/she will discover themed workshops and fields of study sure to broaden their horizons or to confirm that they’re on the right track with their choice of career. What’s more, they’ll improve their linguistic skills with language courses led by passionate teachers. But student life at UdeM is about so much more than classes! During your child's stay, he/she will venture beyond the picturesque UdeM campus to experience the magic of Montréal, voted the best student city in North America. Participants will also take trips to places around the city to explore the stirring beauty of Canadian nature. All this under the guidance of a fabulous team of facilitators.
2. An incomparable intercultural experience
Participating in the Summer Immersion Program is an opportunity for your child to meet other ambitious young people from all around the world. Together, they’ll share two weeks of learning and discoveries designed to answer their questions or to pique their curiosity. According to participants of the very successful 2019 session, the school revolves around “exchanges," “discoveries," and “friendships.” Your children will return home brimming with stories about their stay abroad, their new acquaintances and the charming Québec expressions they learned. These magic moments are sure to be forever etched in their memory.
3. At UdeM, we take care of students… and parents
Our team is well aware that this may be the first long stay away from home for some participants. That’s why we do everything we can to make both children and their parents feel comfortable. This includes a warm, meticulously organized welcome that starts at the airport, hospitality that extends to on-campus accommodation and quality supervision and so much more. Although parents of the 2019 participants might have been thousands of kilometres away, they could “visit” their children through regular posts and photos on the Summer Immersion Program’s private Facebook group. Even the most anxious parents were calmed by all the photos of all the happy faces. All in all, families from afar thought it was a great way to keep in touch.
"Thank you for making me feel welcome from afar via my screens. Your organization’s attention to communication, first by email and then by Facebook, was very reassuring.”
