Accomodation

Host family
In Canada a sense of hospitality is part of the culture. This type of accommodation will suit all students wishing to benefit from the experience of total immersion. The families are selected with care and provide accommodation in individual rooms with all meals included. Students have the opportunity to practise the language in a natural manner, outside of the classroom.

Leisure

The school organises a complete and tempting program of leisure activities that will allow you not only to have fun while discovering the country, but also to get to know other students. These types of social activities also involve plenty of adventure, Canada being a country with a unique natural environment where you can enjoy all sorts of activities and extreme sports while contemplating the whales swimming off the Pacific coast.
