What we like about the school
  • School offers unique courses such as Slanguage and English through Toronto.

Location: ILSC Language School is to the north of the centre of the city, close to the Toronto Eaton Centre Mall in Downtown Younge. It is in a good location within the city, just down the road from The Art Gallery of Ontario, and a short walk from a selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

Getting around: The school is opposite a metro station, St Patrick Station, which has Line One running through it. This service runs to the centre of the city and loops back up to the northern boroughs. The union station, which is close to the waterfront, is a 6-minute metro trip. The street that the school is located on has a number of tram stations scattered along it for lines 505 and 506.

Local attractions in Toronto: The Royal Ontario Museum is north of the school, and 8 minutes on the metro line. In the south of Toronto, the harbour front has some interesting things to visit including the CN Tower and St. Lawrence Market. From ILSC Language School, this location is a 25-minute walk or 17 minutes via the metro.

Course structure: There are adult general English group courses for full time or part time students. There are exam preparation lessons for the Cambridge Exams, a volunteer programme and further education courses for high school as well as university. The school has a junior programme during the summer months.

I was in a discussion circle. It was the right choise for me. The teacher made the lesson lively, we discussed current issues. I wasn't bored for a minute. After the personal contact, the organisation of home stay and test was easy.
