Collège Nordique

Are you looking for a unique language experience in Canada?

Collège Nordique is the only institution offering the Explore French immersion program north of the 60th parallel. The program takes place in the breathtaking Northwest Territories, where French is one of 11 official languages and is part of a rich and unique cultural environment.

Choosing Explore at Collège Nordique means experiencing French immersion like nowhere else. We welcome you to the heart of the Northwest Territories, a spectacular region where every day offers a new way to discover the North. With small classes of approximately 10 participants, you will benefit from personalized support and a dynamic approach inspired by northern realities. This will help you develop your French while experiencing an authentic and truly unique environment.

The adventure continues beyond the classroom. Participants take part in workshops on Indigenous languages and cultures, outdoor activities, and cultural evenings under the midnight sun and the long days of the northern summer.
