. Why study in Vancouver?

	A United Nations survey has determined that Canada is the best place in the world to live, and within Canada - Vancouver. Canada received especially good qualifications for its access to education, to life expectancy (due to the system of universal health care) and for the low rate of crime and violence.

	Competitive prices compared with the prices from the United States, England and Australia.

	Pleasant and welcoming atmosphere: Canada, especially British Columbia, is a land of immigrants and has both the tradition and the policy to encourage the multi-cultural diversity. Almost all the ethnic groups of the world are represented. As a result, ethnic meals and recreational activities associated with specific cultures can be found.

	Beautiful environment: Innumerable parks, gardens, forests, the ocean, marinas, beaches and snow-capped mountains of easy access surround Vancouver. The city offers excellent sports and recreational facilities, including community centers. Its natural beauty is spectacular and its people are very friendly. Vancouver is called “the jewel” of the Pacific.

	A safe place to study: The students who are lucky enough to come to Vancouver will be able to experience the palpable security of the city.

	A country of high technology: Canada is one of the world-wide leaders in computer technology and computer science, telecommunications, transport, engineering, aeronautics, urban transport, microelectronics, medical devices, advanced software, hydroelectric energy. It was one of the first nations in recognizing the necessity to interconnect the schools and libraries with the Internet and almost all the schools and libraries have already been connected.

	A bilingual nation: Both English and French are the official languages. The great majority of the French speaking inhabitants live in the Province of Québec. Canada offers superior programs of English education (ESL) and French (FSL). Canadians give high priority to education and demand first class schools.

Recreational Activities

The philosophy of our schools is that studying a new language must be entertaining and that the best way to become familiarized with a new place and its new culture is to experience them personally.
Therefore, the excursions and the activities organized by the schools play an important part in the curriculum.

Vancouver has abundant natural beauty and depending on the season of the year, it offers a variety of cultural events and sports to satisfy all tastes and suit every budget and interest.

You can go to museums, libraries, art galleries, theaters, concerts, and enjoy bicycling, kayaking, hiking, wind-surfing, golf, ice hockey, baseball, basketball, football, skiing, snowboarding, fishing, roller-blading and much more.
