General Information on Montreal
Montreal, Canada's second largest city, is geographically as close to the European coast as to Vancouver, and in look and feel it combines some of the finest aspects of the two continents. Its North American skyline of glass and concrete rises above churches and monuments in a medley of European styles, a medley as complex as Montreal´s social mix.

The school also has audio-visual material that students may use in the school. There is a large kitchen and student lounge, and we also have a free language exchange programme and weekly activities.
