Cultural Immersion Opportunities

- Ask to meet and interact with a local family for occasional meals or outings
- Join clubs/associations like chorus, dance, rugby, volleyball, among others
Class Visits
We believe that learning outside the classroom is just as important as in-class activities. This is why all of our courses taught throughout the year feature several class visits each session, to better improve your learning experience and provide you with a deeper knowledge of the local culture and approaches.
