English course in Vancouver

Vancouver

Study on an English course in Vancouver, a beautiful combination of modern metropolis and wonderfully unspoilt landscapes. Tour designer shops amidst the skyscrapers of the West End, or walk amongst gigantic trees and ornate totem poles at Stanley Park. Home to the 2010 Winter Olympics, the city is consistently rated as one of the world’s most liveable cities, with cultural attractions to match. Whether it’s a film festival, live music, an ice hockey game or an art exhibition, there’s always something going on!

Vancouver is made up of distinct neighbourhoods, each of which has its own character and cuisine. Visit the tranquil Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Chinatown; browse the colourful public market on Granville Island; or sample spicy Indian dishes in the Punjabi Market. The Kitsilano district is home to one of the city’s best beaches, where you can enjoy Vancouver’s surprisingly mild climate. Outside of the city, there are countless protected parks that are perfect for walking, skiing, cycling, sailing and all manner of outdoor pursuits.

Accommodation

Totally immerse yourself in the English language and the Canadian culture – live with a local, English-speaking family! You’ll receive two meals per day and constant language practice when you’re at home, helping you to carry on learning English after class.

A host family may comprise a traditional family of parents and children, a couple without children or a single person. Our school carefully checks host families and only works with the friendliest, most capable hosts.

Activities

Meet new people and discover Canada whilst you learn English in Vancouver! Every week, our school organises activities like Vancouver city tours, trips to Stanley Park, school parties, ice-skating and evenings at traditional pubs.

Excursions are arranged for the weekends, with typical destinations including Whistler, picturesque Victoria, the exciting US city of Seattle and the Big White Ski Resort. Many activities are included in the cost of your English course in Vancouver, whilst others carry an additional charge.

How to get there

If you like, representatives from our school can collect you from Vancouver International Airport. This service is not, however, included in the cost of your course.
