Accommodation
Staying with a family in Whistler is the best way of learning English and immersing yourself in the Canadian culture. Host families are selected with care by our partner school and are mostly situated only a few minutes away from the language school building (the furthest live around 30 minutes by bus away). You will have your own bedroom and full board provided.
Residence
Our partner school also proposes accommodation in a residence in Whistler. Each of these typical Canadian houses has all of the comfort necessary in order that you can relax after your English classes, including a fitted kitchen, a dining room, a TV and a WiFi connection. The accommodation is in double rooms and meals are not included. The residences are situated around 15 minutes' walking distance or by bus away from the school.
Leisure
The choice of activities is simply enormous. A glittering blanket of powder snow for carving perfect curves or sledding awaits you, in winter and summer alike. And the crystalline waters of the mountain lakes are ideal for kayaking, swimming or fishing for rainbow trout. From extreme sports (like bungee jumping or glacier climbing) to peaceful walks, everything is possible in Whistler… it’s enough to love the open air. In the evening, the ski resort comes alive to make way for parties. Get ready for a great time!
