How does it work?
Who is it for
Canadian kids from 10 to 17
Kids who are interested in learning a new language and broaden their cultural horizons.
Parents who understand the value of being able to communicate in both official languages, therefore giving more chance of a successful career to their kids.
What we do
We pair up your child with a child from France who shares similar interests, age, and household environment. Since it is an exchange program, they'll take turns staying in each other's homes and immersing themselves in a new culture.
The length of stay for each kid is the same; for instance, a French kid would spend 6 months in Canada with their counterpart, and then the Canadian kid would reciprocate by staying for 6 months in France.
Why Us ?
Anne Baucher, the founder of Familles du Monde, had a desire to provide her daughters with the best opportunities in life. Given that her children were French, it was important for them to also have proficiency in English. Having personally experienced linguistic exchange programs within her own family, she understands the significance of selecting the appropriate family for such an exchange. The selection of the family is done with utmost care.
OUR GOAL IS NOT TO FIND A FAMILY, IT IS TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE
