Accomodation
Host family
In Canada, families are known for their warm welcome and their willingness to make guests feel at home. The host families live in Toronto’s residential suburbs, which means that they offer a better quality of life but also that the journey to school on public transport is longer. Students stay in single rooms and full board is provided. This option is ideal for diving into the Canadian culture and practising your English in everyday situations. It’s also a great chance to make friends for life in Canada.
For more flexibility, you also have the option of booking accommodation without meals. In this case, the family kitchen is available for you to use.
Leisure
The leisure possibilities are endless in Montreal, and ILSC makes the most of this by organising a rich and varied program for after classes. Numerous sports, social and cultural activities are offered each week and it’s easy to organise independent activities with the help of the school.
