    Secondary school student exchange program
    Mexico

    La aventura mexicana!

    Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec and Éducation internationale are unfortunately forced to put on hold the secondary school student exchange programs for the 2022-2023 school year.

    You go to school, you learn Spanish, you discover the local culture and create friendships without borders! You are greeted, housed and fed by your twin’s family in Mexico during the first part of the exchange. Then it is his or her turn to come and live the same experience with you in Quebec.

    You live this experience with a twin who has been chosen to match your interests and profile
