What we like about the school
  • Very favorable cancellation terms. You can cancel courses with less than 8 days notice.

Location: Discover English Academy is a multilingual language school in the Canadian city of Vancouver. The school is in North Vancouver, which is across the Vancouver Harbour from the focal point of the city. The area around the school is the core of the district, with a large number of shops and restaurants throughout the streets.

Getting around: There are a number of bus routes from Discover English Academy that reach central Vancouver in between 30 and 40 minutes. The Ferry Quay is 20 minutes from the school and has regular trips to the other side.

Courses: Although the main focus of the school is English lessons, they also offer French, Farsi and Spanish classes. The English classes are designed as exam preparation courses, programmes for English in the business environment or English for healthcare professionals.
