With its colourful ethnic mix, rich history and breathtaking architecture, Toronto offers non-stop adventures for the willing tourist.

To get a sense of how big, diverse and magical Toronto is, the best place to start is the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the world. From this vantage point, students get a bird's-eye-view of the city's striking skyline and unique geography.

In addition to being an important cultural and commercial centre, Toronto is also a city that is home to many ethnicities. The city's population is more than 5 million people, and its residents come from all around the world and from all various ethnic backgrounds.

On any given day, and in most areas of the city, dozens of different languages can be heard on the streets, from Hindi to Greek to French. This, perhaps, explains why former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is really more a mosaic of cultures and languages than a melting pot.

The Toronto Islands, just a 10 minute ferry ride, offer eight tree-lined islands and more than a dozen smaller islets that sit in Lake Ontario just off the city's downtown.

Finally visit the most beautiful of the world's wonders - Niagara Falls, just a short bus ride away!

Located downtown and only a short walk from the majority of Toronto's many attractions, our school occupies a building built in the 1870s in a historic part of the city known affectionately as 'Cabbagetown', in downtown Toronto!

The school has been fully modernized, featuring bright, cool colours with lots of art work, a grand central staircase, modern classrooms with high ceilings, a beautiful private garden and full facilities for study and recreation.

School facilities include:
8 bright large classrooms (with AC)
Large, open reception area with CD
Lounge with Cable TV/DVD
Free internet access in computer lab
