Our classes are very small; sometimes you may even get a one-on-one class for the price of a regular class!

North Vancouver is a family oriented neighborhood, so it's among the safest locations in Vancouver. Family homestays are very close, so it may be possible to walk or bike to school and save money on transportation.
Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Vancouver. These homes are often between 15 - 25 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
