The OCDSB / Aix-Marseille-Nice Reciprocal 5-Week Exchange
This exchange started in 2017 and has seen groups of between 15 and 40 OCDSB students host students from the Aix-Marseille-Nice region every fall and then travel to France every spring. Students attend school in French during that time.
The 2023-2024 Exchange application is now closed. The 2024-2025 application will open in late January of 2024 and will be open to students in Core French or Immersion with preference given to students in the International Certificate Program.
