* American style lunch will be held each day in the lunch room and is part of the immersion program.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in cultural and social activities whose objectives are academic. These activities are expected to accelerate the participants' learning process and strengthen their progress in the three areas of the program: language, culture, and bilingual education.
The activities are an integral part of the academic program; they complement and enrich the content of the classes, and become part of the students' portfolio. Complete immersion cannot be achieved without the students' participation in the program's cultural and social activities.
