Our partner school in Vancouver, CEL (College of English Language), is a small, friendly language school located in downtown Vancouver. The school is situated close to Coal Harbour, within walking distance of the waterfront, shops, cafés and other amenities. Popular attractions such as Stanley Park, Gastown and English Bay are also easily accessible. Its excellent location makes it the perfect place to combine an English language course with exploring this vibrant Canadian city and the stunning natural surroundings of Vancouver.
In addition to English lessons, the language school regularly organises a variety of activities. You can explore Vancouver together with other students, for example by visiting Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown or English Bay. Depending on the season, activities may also include ice skating, attending an ice hockey match or visiting the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
At weekends, optional excursions are available to destinations such as Whistler and Victoria. The activity programme is a great way to meet other students and continue practising your English outside the classroom.
Activities and excursions are subject to sufficient participation.
Minimum age: 16 years
