EF Preparation Camp in Canada

Prepare for your High School Year by meeting other exchange students, learning about Canadian culture and practicing English and French. The EF Preparation Camp is designed to help you get ready for your student exchange.

What you will learn

Become more comfortable speaking English or French before meeting your host family and starting school. You will:

  • Meet “professionals” – former exchange students – to hear about their experiences and ask their advice.
  • Take classes from native-speaking teachers who offer practical instruction about Canadian life, culture and current events.
  • Have lots of fun

Are you up for the challenge?

Attending a different high school and taking classes in a foreign language is a challenge, but also rewarding. It will broaden your horizons, expose you to new things and lead to personal growth. In addition, the experience will provide you with skills that will contribute to your future academic studies and career.
