Like Study Abroad, but....
I am a 16 year old junior in high school who is studying French. I would like to do something like study abroad in Quebec, but not for very long, just 2 or 3 weeks. I was also wondering if it was possible to not take the classes, just stay with a host family and learn culture and see what daily life is like.
Even if you find something that doesn't go with everything I want, please let me know. I am open to all your ideas. Thank you!

If you are interested in taking French language and culture courses, I would recommend taking part in an intensive language course- most, if not all, programs will find a host family for you. I did the same thing five years ago, although I did not stay with a host family...I studied Spanish language in Spain for two months, and had the option of staying with a family, though I chose to live with students instead.
Here is a program I found in Montreal, which offers language courses, usually between fours weeks to several months.

...at the top of the website, you can click on the link, "homestay," to get more information on that.
I'm not sure if you can stay with a family for such a short period of time.. you could do an "au pair," where you are hired to babysit children in exchange for housing, but that usually requires a long term commitment (around one year). I'm not sure about options of staying with a host family for less than one or two months...
but if you are interested in taking language and culture courses (which I highly recommend), there are plenty of programs. You can google, "French language programs, Quebec," and you'll get a lot of results. Montreal is a beautiful city, with lots to do, but if you'd like, there are also other places in Quebec you can study in.
Hope I helped!

i would suggest asking your french teacher or a french teacher in general, she would have answers and could maybe tell you about the program your school has since every school does something different
ask about the hosting forign families program or simply a class trip?
