Applications are now open for the 2025-2026 Ottawa-Provence Exchange program. This is an exciting opportunity for OCDSB students to enhance their French language skills and experience the culture of Provence.
Each fall, the program welcomes students from Provence to Ottawa, providing local students with a chance to interact with French culture at home. Then, in the spring, OCDSB students travel to Provence, immersing themselves in the language and lifestyle of the region.
The program is open to students enrolled in Core French or French Immersion programs, with preference given to those in the International Certificate Program. Students will also earn a school credit. The estimated cost of the exchange is approximately $3700.
