Our excursions and fun trips to significant places are a great way to combine fun and learning.\u00a0 This is a vital part of the way we teach, especially language; by living the language through experience, culture and connections together!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-1-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In the early morning hours of June 21st, our students boarded a bus to visit Quebec City, one of the oldest and most important cities in Canadian history.\u00a0 The historic district of old Quebec is\u00a0 recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the only walled city in the Americas, north of Mexico.\u00a0 Situated along the Saint Lawrence River in Canada&#8217;s predominantly French-speaking Qu\u00e9bec province, Qu\u00e9bec City traces its origins back to 1608. The city features a fortified colonial heart, encompassing Vieux-Qu\u00e9bec and Place Royale, characterized by its stone edifices and narrow streets. This historic area is home to the majestic Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac Hotel and the formidable Citadelle of Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-5-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-5-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-5-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-5-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-5.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our students were given a guided tour of Old Quebec, being led through the city by a costumed guide.\u00a0 In the Petit Champlain district, cobblestone streets are adorned with charming bistros and boutiques.\u00a0 Not only did the students get to explore the city on foot, but after lunch, they boarded the <em>Louis Jolliet<\/em> for a boat tour where they got a majestic view and learned more about this beautiful city.\u00a0 Finally, they ended their tour with an immersive VR experience at <em>Immersion Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>.\u00a0 Old Quebec is so rich in charm and character that it is impossible to visit the city and not fall in love with Quebec culture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-3-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quebec.cestarcollege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Quebec-City-3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Sadly, this is the final big adventure that our Panamanian students will have with us, as they will be returning home in a few weeks after proudly receiving their course completion diplomas at a graduation ceremony on the 5th of July, 2024. These students will be returning home with an impressive mastery of both English and French which will open more doors for them in their future careers.\u00a0 We also hope that they will arrive home with broadened horizons and fond memories of our school, their passionate teachers, and all of their exciting experiences here in Montreal. As for Cestar Coll\u00e8ge, Campus LaSalle, we are excitedly awaiting the next batch of students for Summer 2024 who will go through a similar immersive language learning experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Learning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the last week of June, our Panamanian students set out on another exciting adventure where they got to take a deep dive into the heart of Quebec\u2019s vibrant culture.
