The intensive short program is designed for international students with English skills from beginner to intermediate. This program will allow participants to attend English classes and practice their speaking skills through exciting activities. There are three possible destinations for this program that all share a different perspective of the Canadian experience: Ottawa, ON, Halifax, NS, and Montreal, QC.

All placements for this program are in English immersion (host families, activities, classes), however Montreal is a bilingual city (French and English) that will be a reality for students when they are outside of AFS activities.
