BelCanFran | Exchange Program

A NON-FOR-PROFIT RECIPROCAL FAMILY EXCHANGE

This cultural exchange is open to students from 13 to 17 years old in Alberta only.

The BelCanFran exchange program is made possible through the endorsement of Alberta Ministry of Learning and participating School Districts in Alberta. The BelCanFran reciprocal family exchange promotes French language development, through a linguistic and cultural immersion within a family and school setting.

TESTIMONIAL

“We had a wonderful experience with the exchange student from France. Not only did our daughter find a friend for life, but she enriched our whole family through the experience. Now our daughter is enjoying the reciprocal hospitality in France and is having the time of her life. We are sure this will prove to be a life-changing experience. Thank you Ron and Lise for facilitating such a wonderful experience.”

— Matthew Page-Hanify

You will host your exchange partner from mid-August to the beginning of November. The exchange student will attend your school (with the approval of your Principal) and will share in the daily life of your family. Exchange students from Belgium or France and Canada are matched by gender, age, basic interests and activities. You will travel to your host family at the beginning of February and will return at the end of April. While in Europe you will attend school and experience the daily life of the family.
