There is a two-part approach to our IELTS Preparation Course. Firstly, we focus on improving the students’ English skills. Students work on vocabulary building, critical listening and reading, essay writing, and speaking. The second focus is on building test-taking skills and strategies. In addition, students take IELTS mock-exams once a week, which is a great way to build test-taking stamina and for the school to monitor the students’ progress. Students take 4 lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Students work with an experienced IELTS teacher, and the most up-to-date, effective textbooks and materials available.
*There is a possibility of a textbook rental for C$10/week. A C$80 refundable deposit will be charged at the time of a rental.

It was the best experience ever! I never imagined to make friends of all over the world like this. The experience was better than expected. The teachers were always nice and kind, the activities were also beautiful and fun (except the trip to lighthouse), and I also learnt a lot more speaking the language with the other people in the school. To me it helped me to improve my skills in English, and my social skills too.
I loved everything else, the memories and friends I made in this summer have such a big place in my heart <3
I think the level was litle bit low for me
too much different level in the classes
