🎓 BACK-TO-SCHOOL PREP CAMP Academic & Fluency Intensive Build Confidence. Strengthen Skills. Accelerate Fluency. Is your child heading back to school this fall ready to grow — not just review — their French skills? The French Solutions Academic & Fluency Intensive is a structured 10-day program, offered in three summer sessions, designed to strengthen grammar, refine writing, expand vocabulary, and elevate oral fluency before September. Through focused small-group instruction, students receive personalized guidance while building the confidence to communicate clearly and effectively in French. Students may participate in one, two, or all three sessions. Each session features a complementary but distinct academic workbook, allowing students who enroll in multiple sessions to continue building skills progressively throughout the summer. |
🔔 While engaging and enjoyable, this is a structured academic camp program. With small groups of 8–10 students per grade , our activities are designed to help students thrive!
Students engage in:
| 📘 1. Academic Skill Development Focused instruction in grammar, writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary expansion. Students will work from a comprehensive academic binder featuring structured, grade-level preparation activities aligned with Ontario curriculum. | 🎭 2. Fluency Through Drama Interactive drama sessions where students read scripts, act out characters, use movement and expression, and participate in a final performance that strengthens pronunciation and speaking confidence. | |
| 🤝 3. Leadership & Collaboration Guided discussions, collaborative activities, and peer interaction strengthen clarity, confidence, and real-world communication in French. Students in Grades 4 and up participate in a YMCA-led workshop focused on awareness and responsibility through interactive leadership games. | 🏃 4.
