QUICK LINKS - just one click away!
Every summer for 11 days, Montreal hosts the world's largest jazz festival, with 400 concerts and the biggest stars of the international jazz community. The Just For Laughs Comedy Festival began as a two night French language comedy show and has grown to an event that lasts almost two weeks and draws more than 470,000 people.
It's always a festive occasion when the traveling circus troupe Cirque du Soleil returns home to Montreal with its mesmerizing crew of fire eaters, jugglers, acrobats, clowns and artists.
Downtown lies between the mountain and Old Montreal, which was the heart of the city until the end of the nineteenth century. Today, its charming buildings are filled with boutiques, bars and restaurants, and visitor’s and locals promenade along the adjacent Old Port.
The nearby islands in the St. Lawrence - Ile Ste-Hélène and Ile Notre-Dame - were the site of the Expo 67 World Fair, and now comprise the city's largest park. The other tourist must see is the legacy of another international event: the 1976 Summer Olympics. The Big 'O' (the Olympic Stadium) has the world's tallest inclined tower, and is next door to the city's Botanical Garden.
The 'real' Montreal, though, exists in neighborhoods that celebrate their ethnic origins like Little Italy and Chinatown, and especially the multicultural Plateau Mont-Royal. Boulevard St-Laurent ('The Main'), which runs through the Plateau and divides Montreal into east and west, is the city's most lively street.
Montreal is well represented in all the traditional manifestations of high culture - symphony, opera and ballet - but truly stands out in experimental theater and contemporary dance. One of its most notable exports is the internationally acclaimed Cirque du Soleil who still occasionally performs in Montreal.
Our school is located in the heart of Montréal, on Ste-Catherine Street which is Montreal's indisputable main street. It offers great shopping, restraurants, deli's, cafes & more!
The 3 major universities representing a total of roughly 90,000 students are located on or adjacent to Ste-Catherine Street: Concordia, McGill and the Université du Québec à Montréal and close to Montreal's largest entertainment complex - the Pepsi Forum.
Housed in a modern five storey building, overlooking a glass-roofed courtyard of a popular shopping mall it has all the modern facilities of a large international school. It is also located only two blocks from a subway line, making it easy for students to get around the city and experience life in this bilingual city.
Lessons are in small groups from Monday to Friday (09.00 - 12.00) and students practice grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and oral comprehension in systematically structured lessons.
Emphasis is placed on language in real-life situations outside the school, communication and language games and work in-groups and pairs. The school offers 5 level of languages from complete beginner to advanced.
At the end of the program each day, students have about 1-2 hours to use the internet or e-mail or spend time with their friends exploring the city.
Activities are designed for teenagers and offer a balanced blend of activities which introduce students to the city and its culture as well as providing them with many opportunities to participate in sports. Montreal is host to several festivals, artistic and cultural events. The planned schedule takes advantage of Montreal's many attractions so that you can enjoy the best summer has to offer.

Our full-time program monitors guide students on all afternoon activities to ensure that our young clients are well supervised.
Our families are located between 30-40 minutes by the very efficient and safe Montreal public transit system ("Le Metro") from the school.
The family provides 3 meals daily, at lunchtime you will receive a packed lunch with the other students and your teachers.
On Wednesday everyone joins in a picnic during the excursion.
