School

Our partner school occupies two campuses, both facing each other, in Vancouver city centre. You can reach the beaches in around fifteen minutes and Stanley Park in around 20 minutes. The premises of PLI are modern and all of the classrooms are equipped with all of the teaching material necessary for learning English. You will also have access to computers which offer the latest computer programmes as well as free Internet access (WiFi). In the student lounge, you will be able to meet up with your new friends in order to relax over a cup of tea or coffee, or to prepare yourself a refreshment (microwave, fridges and vending machines are available for your use). Finally, in the information centre, containing newspapers, magazines and noticeboards, you will be constantly kept up-to-date on local and regional events.

Accommodation

Host family
The families are carefully selected by our partner school in order to offer its students a friendly environment and optimal conditions to integrate into the Canadian way of life and to practise English. You will stay in a single room with half board, in a residential area situated at around 45-60 minutes away from the school, and will share the common rooms of the house with your hist family.
It is also possible for you to stay in someone's house, without meals include, where you will have free access to the kitchen (other conditions are identical to those of staying with a standard host family).
Residence/ Furnished apartments
Our partner school also proposes accommodation in different residences or furnished apartments in the city (subject to availabilty). Prices and further information on request.

Leisure

Canada has a full array of leisure activities to suit all tastes and budgets on offer. The school proposes a weekly programme of extra-curricular activities, including cultural visits, sports, weekend excursions, etc. It is a chance to practise your English in a relaxed atmosphere and to make friends from all over the world. From Vancouver, it is easy to organise small get-aways to the Rockies, Whistler, Victoria, Vancouver Island or indeed go over the border and visit Seattle.
