ILSC Toronto moved to a brand new campus in December 2005 and, over time, we have grown to 2 campuses, both of which are close to subway stations and both in the heart of downtown with proximity to many of the city attractions, including shopping, dining, sports facilities, etc.

In addition to a comprehensive curriculum, students will find modern facilities including 55 classrooms, 3 internet cafes/student lounges and 1 computer lab.

School location

No wonder people call Toronto ‘the world within a city.’ This vibrant metropolis, which is home to more than 100 different ethnic and cultural groups, is the most multicultural city on the planet. Set on the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario, Toronto is also Canada’s largest city with a population of 5.1 million. It’s a city of neighborhoods, each with its own rich history and unique charm and character. Funky and fashionable Queen Street West, the eclectic Danforth, and elegant Yorkville are just a few of the favorites.

ILSC students love exploring Toronto’s great outdoors, sailing to the Toronto Islands, picnicking in High Park or taking day trips to spectacular Niagara Falls. You can ride roller coasters at Canada’s Wonderland or ride camels at the world-famous Toronto Zoo. Summer in Toronto means street festivals, celebrations and outdoor concerts late into the night – and don’t miss Caribana in July, a week-long celebration of Caribbean culture with non-stop music and dancing.

"It was very enjoyable and useful period."

Mónika Kolompárné Pusztai, student from Hungary

The classes were very good; the teachers were very intelligent and prepared for teaching. The location and facilities were well-equipped. I liked the activities (mainly the Toronto Island trip). I don't know about the housing because I had other accommodations. So, I would recommend your school to anyone.

Ask a question

"I have a prospective student who would like to study at ILSC Toronto. Will you be able to accommodate a 12 year old boy for a standard course? Private class is also an option for the family 2-3 hours a day. The family will only be able to drop him off to the class but won't accompany him during the course hours."

Lucas Bertoli, ILSC school representative

As per ILSC's general admission checklist, students must be 16 years of age or older to attend ILSC. However, if your client is interested in attending our winter youth program beginning in January 2014, please let me know and we might be able to accommodate him. Generally speaking, students enrolled in our winter/summer youth programs must be 13 years or older but for a 12-year old we may be able to make an exception.
