This option is a great way to discover the lifestyle in this cosmopolitan city and to practise your English daily in a friendly and motivating atmosphere. If you wish to benefit from a private bathroom, you can also stay with a "superior" host family.

Leisure

Vancouver will give anyone just what they want: the fief of shops and select cafés in Robson Street, the kingdom of trendy nightclubs in Granville Street and nature just around the corner in Stanley Park or on the beautiful English Bay and Sunset Beach. Shopping, gastronomy, night life, sport… How could you get bored? And with Whistler, Vancouver Island, Seattle and the Canadian Rockies so close by for weekend excursions, everyone will find their happiness. Besides, our partner school offers a weekly social program which will enable you to discover Vancouver and its roundabouts whilst getting to know your fellow students.
