If you only are going for a few weeks, be aware that you will be entering a class that has already been in progress, with students who may or may not have been there for awhile. It didn't cause any problems, the teachers were very accommodating if they were in the middle of a unit when I arrived.

Location within Vieux Québec (the old city). The staff were amiable, supportive and helpful.

Other comments

I chose an intensive week-long private programme and there was a little confusion at the beginning (I was put in a group). I think this type of learning process may be a bit unusual and if/when I return, I would do things a bit differently - i.e. I would be a bit more direct (possibly in advance) about my goals. Overall, it was a good experience.

It is a pity that the school does not offer any leisure activities. In addition, you hardly meet the other students at the school since each class has lessons at a different time and the breaks are not at the same time either. Private lessons were great.

There's a great balance between serious learning and fun activities. You can practice your French in a wide range of situations, especially with the other students, and as a result speaking ability improves quite rapidly.

The staff and teachers are really nice, and care about the students.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Ask for a homestay within 3km of the school. Some students live an hour away by bus, making it difficult to get home after a late night out.

Other comments

The classrooms are small for the number of students. Also the classes are often full in the summer time. You also don't know whether your class is in the morning or in afternoon until the previous Friday. This makes planning your week a bit difficult. Besides that, it's a great school, I had lot of fun, and can't wait to return!

I highly recommend it! Be warned though that the Québec weather is extreme in the winter! Doesn't make you want to explore the city in such frozen conditions.

It is a small school with small classes,but this is better for learning.I always had the impression they knew what they were doing and that the dollar was not the most important thing for them.

well, most 'host families' were actually single women, so you didn't quite get the feeling of living in a family-- but many had other students staying also, which was fun

They mold the classes to fit the immediate needs of the attending students, and the teachers are very knowledgeable and personable.

Negative aspects

The class schedule schedule changed weekly, so you wouldn't know until Monday whether or not you had a class at 8 a.m. or 1 p.m.

"La fête de l'été" (the summer music festival which has hosted artists like Manu Chao and les Ritas Mitsuoko, in the past).

Other comments

I was tremendously happy with my choice of going to Bouchereau. It was centrally located, the teachers were delightful, there were many fantastic international students (most of the students were from Switzerland and Colombia... that was sort of weird), and the host family that I was allotted to live with, couldn't have been more perfectly selected to suit my personality. Thanks a bunch!
