Experience School in Europe by Individual Reciprocal Exchange

CERE offers you 2 Programs (one month – summer Program and three month programs – see below). Our students have information and preparation meetings in order to have a successful stay. CERE’s coordinators are there to guide them throughout the exchange. Valid for all provinces. Contact your provincial coordinator.

1 MONTH PROGRAM

Spend 4 weeks in France, Belgium or Spain

CERE offers a four week reciprocal exchange program for individual students.
You will travel to your host family at the end of June and return at the end of July with your partner. You will host your exchange student in August. Host families are selected very carefully and we review all the documents we require.
The goal of this program is to enhance language proficiency, promote personal growth and development, increase awareness of another culture and foster a global perspective.

The cost of the program for 2024-25 is $5.195 (airport taxes and insurance included)

The cost covers the selection of your partner, preparation meetings in your home region and the host country, international air travel with escort(s), a two day visit of Paris (Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, Notre-Dame de Paris, Champs Elysées avenue and a boat trip on the Seine), a two day stop-over in Toronto when you return with a visit to Niagara Falls, and hotels in Paris and Toronto during the visits.
The cost also covers continuous support from the CERE team during your entire program both in France and in Canada when you return with your partner.
The cost also covers repatriation insurance, hospital insurance and third party liability insurance for European & Canadian Students.
For more information, contact the provincial coordinator nearest to you.

3 MONTH PROGRAM

Spend 9 or 11 weeks in France, Belgium or Spain to live a cultural exchange

CERE invites you to discover France, Belgium or Spain and improve your language skills.
You will host your exchange student from mid-August to the beginning of November. The exchange student will attend your school (with the approval of your Principal) and will share the daily life of your family. Exchange students are selected very carefully and we review all the documents we require. You will travel to your host family at the beginning of February and will return at the end of April. While in Europe you will attend school and experience the daily life of the family.

The cost of the program for 2024-25 is $5.195 (airport taxes and insurance included)

CERE’s team is available during all the process. If students suffer any problems we always find rapid solutions: change of family is a possibility always in cooperation with the parents.
A $400 deposit is required with the preliminary application form ($300 non-refundable). Payment dates may be extended at no further costs.

For more information, contact the provincial coordinator nearest to you.

CERE Team has been organizing linguistic exchanges with Ontario since 1995 and since 1998 with Alberta and British-Columbia.
This program is made possible with the collaboration of the School Districts of the Canadian provinces and the volunteer coordinators. The Association promotes foreign language learning, personal growth and development, increases awareness of another culture and fosters a global perspective.
