By touring French Canada, students get a glimpse of life in another culture and a chance to learn important skills necessary to compete in an ever-shrinking, global world. Students have the opportunity to witness and appreciate the cultural uniqueness that distinguishes
their lives from those of another country.
Montreal is a perfect blend of old world charm, French joie de vivre and a modern style of its own. Students find that much of Montreal's history has been lovingly preserved. There are graceful stone buildings, stately churches and cobblestone streets. Montreal is said to be the perfect blend of North American modernity with a strong French flavor.
