Explore – Second Language Program

Explore is an intensive language immersion program that provides opportunities for English-speaking students to study French, and for French-speaking students to study English. For participants 16 and older, Explore sessions are offered during the spring or summer, which last between 31 and 33 days. For 13- to 15-year-olds, three-week summer sessions are available. Some virtual Explore sessions are offered for those who are unable to participate in person.

The program contributes $3,350 for each participant 16 years and older and $2,400 for each participant 13 to 15 years old to cover the costs of tuition, instructional materials, meals, and lodging.
