IMPORTANT NOTES for all Courses: - Minimum Age: 18 years of age. - Each lesson is 55 minutes long. All students take a written placement test on their first day at École Québec Monde. The test is followed by a face to face oral assessment. Both the written test and interview are used to evaluate the level of the students so as to place each one of them in the relevant group or design the ideal study program in consideration of their needs and goals - We teach
international French at École Québec Monde. This is the standard French used
in all French-speaking countries. There are some words and expressions
specific to Quebec or to certain regions of Quebec. Instructors will explain
the differences to you and give you equivalents. - Courses are Monday to Friday, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm OR from 1:15 to 5:15 pm, as planned by the Director of Studies. - To maintain level uniformity in a group, there might be fewer than three students in the group. When this happens we reserve the right to adjust the number of lessons in the Intensive French Language Group Course (20 lessons) as follows: 1 student = 10 hrs of private instruction; 2 students = 15 hrs of semi-private instruction. - Medical Insurance: Medical insurance is mandatory for all students attending École Québec Monde. If you do not have medical insurance coverage while in Canada, École Québec Monde can enroll you in its medical insurance plan at the time of arrival at the school (cost is approximately USD 1.35 per day for Basic coverage and USD 1.85 per day for Enhanced coverage).
