USA Immersion Program – Discovery Session
The Family Immersion program is designed for young people who dream of experiencing life within an American family. These stays offer the chance to discover, from the inside, a new way of life and a culture that is as breathtaking as it is exotic, all while practicing English on a daily basis. The student will also take part in excursions to New York or Chicago (depending on the program chosen) to explore the region where they are staying. It’s the perfect way to improve and feel more comfortable speaking!
