Situated in a modern building on the very lively Rue Ste Catherine, our partner school in Montreal is easily accessed by all of the main bus and metro lines. Students can study both French and English at the school, reflecting the very essence of Montreal, bilingual city par excellence. The school has 24 completely renovated and very well-equipped classrooms as well as a computer room with free Internet access and which offers language learning programmes complementary to the language courses. A spacious student lounge allows students from all over the world to get to know each other, to relax or to prepare a night out because in Montreal, when it comes to nightlife, you are really spoilt for choice.

Accommodation

Host family
Canadian families are known for their warm welcome and for making their guests feel right at home. Host families live in the city’s residential areas, which offers a certain quality of life, but which means having to use public transport to get to the school. Students stay in single rooms and have half board or full board provided. This option is ideal for immersing yourself in the Canadian culture and for practising English in all of the situations of everyday life. It's also the opportunity to make friends for life in Canada. For more flexibility, it is also possible to book accommodation without meals included. In this case, you can still use the family's kitchen.

Residence, apartment
The school also proposes staying in a single room, without meals included, close to the language school (around 10 minutes away) in the YWCA or YMCA residence, whilst in a private apartment, this will be at Place Lincoln.

Leisure

In Montreal, there are infinite possibilities when it comes to leisure and ILSC takes advantage of this in order to create a rich and varied environment after classes. Numerous sports, social and cultural activities are offered each week, like for example indoor rock-climbing, bicycle tours, rollerblading, ice-skating, visits to the city and its numerous attractions...as well as excursions to Ottawa or New York during some weekends.
