Students enrolled in the exchange in Germany will automatically be enrolled in a mandatory German course. The Échange azimut team will handle student registration. The fees for the course are payable by the student and their parents.
The two associated schools are the Goethe-Institut Montreal and German Language Schools Quebec.
Registration to this course does not ensure a pairing with a twin. Our team shall inform students of the pairing results as soon as possible.
German students who applied to the program have on average taken three years of French in order to be eligible to the program.
