Harvard Immersion Study Tours Offline Information Session

Founded in 2016, ECC is an education-oriented company. The initial business was to recruit international students to study in Canada but was forced to stop by the pandemic.  Now ECC focuses on Harvard Immersion Study Tours.

• Harvard Immersion Study Tours, co-organized by Harvard and MIT students and ECC (Éducation Central Canada), is a program including a series of thematic and experiential courses and immersion tours.
• Thematic and experiential courses are delivered in the classrooms and museums of Harvard and MIT by Harvard students, spanning a wide range of disciplines including culture, art, technology, mathematics, architecture, biology, history, nature, medicine, and nutrition.
• The program is open to students from high school, CEGEP, or undergraduate. By expanding their horizons and knowledge from the world’s top universities, experiencing the charms of various disciplines and learning from role models, students will discover their interests and potentials, and be inspired to pursue their own wonderful life.
• After completing this program, students will get a Certificate issued by Harvard students and ECC, become members of ECC Club, and enjoy subsequent services. Moreover, they will have priority to participate in more diverse and premium programs in the future.
