Sample schedule

Instructors or cultural assistants take students on a series of exciting outdoor adventures such as kayaking, an excursion to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, or a visit to the Vancouver Aquarium. Students also visit museums and Vancouver’s ethnically diverse neighbourhoods. This is a sample itinerary and the schedule and activities included are subject to change.

Program Dates

Homestay

Homestay accommodation is optional, but it is an important part of the language immersion program. Students stay with carefully selected English-speaking families who are interested in sharing their time and culture so that students can practice their English and learn about West Coast living. Students will take part in daily family activities. Some language assignments will involve discussions with your host family.
