One thing is sure – theatre towns are never dull, and taking English courses in Stratford will offer you plenty of evidence of that. It’s just what you were looking for if you want to find a reasonably quiet place to study – at least part of the year. For the rest, when the internationally renowned Shakespeare Festival is on, the roads are chock-full of tourists – just the atmosphere in which to get out and practice what you’ve learnt in class. Set in the middle of Ontario’s farmland, an idyllic setting if ever there was one, Stratford is a beautifully kept town of gardens and stunningly preserved buildings, intersected by its very own River Avon on which swim swans, just like on the original in England. Stratford is dedicated to the works of one man, William Shakespeare, so be prepared to come across references to him on every street corner – but also to having the chance to see his plays performed by one of the top theatre companies in the world. Where else do you have the option of spending a day in class, then walking down by a shady river and feeding the swans before going to see a play, either one of the works of the greatest playwright in history or any of the other shows the Festival puts on? Whether your taste is Shakespeare or musicals, the Festival can provide you an excellent evening where you’ll get to test how much you’ve learnt while being thoroughly entertained. An English school in Stratford offers you a unique opportunity to learn English in a context that will make sure you won’t soon forget what you learned.
