Toronto ist ein toller Ort mit vielen Eindrücken und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Jedoch muss man das Banken-Stadt Leben mögen. Ich war begeistert würde diesen Ort wieder wählen, auch wenn mir persönlich Vancouver und Montreal kulturell besser gefallen. Super Sache, dass ich nur einen Schweizer kennengelernt habe. So war man zum Glück gezwungen :) 80 Prozent der Schüler waren aus dem asiatischen Raum, was nicht immer einfach war. Sie lernen die Grammatik X Mal schneller als wir Europäer können aber zum Teil im I3 Level keine anständige Diskussion führen. Bei uns sieh das gerade umgekehrt aus. In Intermediate 1 angefangen, nach dem 2. Monat zu I3 bestanden. (Hatten in der Schule andere Einstufungen als hier zur Verfügung stehen)Die Lehrkräfte pflegten alle einen kollegialen Umgang mit den Schülern. Man öffnet sich so schneller und und getraut sich mehr.Inkl. Den Supervisors! Abbey war super hilfsbereit und sehr kompetent!

Testimonials

Tamara Knöpfel

ILSC Education Group, Toronto
Duration: 11 weeks

My little BIG journey started from Zurich. I flew to Toronto with lots of ideas in my mind but I didn’t really know what to expect.

Once in Toronto, I was warmly greeted by my host family (Maria, Chuck et Charley, 5 years), who were all waiting for me. We got on very well right from the start and our relationship developed to become a real friendship during my stay.

ILSC is a great school for a language course. It is located in the very centre of town (close to the famous Eaton shopping mall) and it has incredible teachers, helpful staff members and excellent facilities. What I liked most was the low percentage of Swiss students at the school. I spent most of my time with students from other continents. Not only did I learn English, but I also approached other cultures.

The multiple experiences I had during my language course made me a stronger person!

Camille Despland

ILSC Education Group, Toronto
Duration: 5 weeks

Toronto is an amazing city offering lots of different activities, day and night! I decide to stay with a host family; I didn’t regret my choice, as this made me practise my English while meeting great people!

The school was well located in the city centre; I used public transports to reach it, but they were pleasant and easily accessible.

English courses were targeted depending on our needs, objectives and wishes. And if you don’t like that, the teacher and the director allow you to change and go to a different class.

I improved my English despite my short stay (5 weeks); I did an intensive course (morning and afternoon).

The school offers different activities to encourage the students to meet each other (CN Tower, pub…). During the weekend, you can visit New York, French Canada, Chicago, Washington…

The people I had the chance to meet during the trip were all warm and interesting! In Toronto you can find a mix of many different nationalities, and this is very enriching. I learned a lot and I don’t regret anything about this trip. I recommend this city!

Charlotte Besse

ILSC Education Group, Toronto
Duration: 8 weeks (+ 8 weeks of internship at ILSC Education Group, Toronto)

Toronto is a marvellous city, with lots of things to do all year round. Impossible to get bored! You can find any nationality and people are very welcoming. I really liked the school because I could choose the best course depending on my level. I had the chance to meet people from around the world and have interesting discussions in and outside the class. Furthermore, the school organises afternoon activities to visit the city and meet even more people!

Host family
Canadian families are known for their warm welcome and for making their guests feel right at home. Host families live in Toronto's residential areas, which offer a great quality of life but require using public transport to get to the school, with an average journey time of 40-60 minutes. Students stay in single rooms and have half-board or full board provided. This option is ideal for immersing yourself in Canadian culture and practising English in everyday life situations. It's also an opportunity to make friends for life in Canada. For more flexibility, it's possible to book accommodation without meals, and in this case, you can use the family's kitchen.
