Our partner school consists of five buildings, all of which are situated five minutes away from each other.

Each of these has its own style but all of them have this atmosphere of warmth and community in common which characterises the ILSC schools. Together, they have more than 80 classrooms available for students' use, several language labs and a WiFi connection. As for the 6 student lounges, these will allow you to relax and to meet and chat with other international students over a coffee.

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, hotel
Other accommodation options in residences, shared or private apartments or else in hotels are also available.

Testimonial

“Green Leadership Programme” in Vancouver

Seba Cattori One of the reasons I chose Vancouver was hockey. Canada is one of the best countries at hockey all around the world. Everybody recommended me to come to Canada, so I chose Vancouver. Regarding the weather, Vancouver is better than any other part of the country.

I didn't know anything about the different schools in the City, so Stefania told me about the ILSC option and I booked my course at the office of Locarno.

Since I've arrived, I've been attending the communication course and I recommend it because teachers are great and they know how to teach while you socialize with the other students. In the afternoon I'm taking the grammar course (it's a little more complicated).

The activities I prefer are always related to Hockey, so I went to one game and the guided visit of the stadium.
