styles. They are all very funny and easy

to understand, so I actually improved my

English! And IH is downtown, which is a good

environment to study English for students.

I think I made a good decision to come to IH for

everything. I still keep in touch with my friends

and teachers from IH.That is why International House is seriously the

best school in Vancouver.

Thank you.Rosie, Korea

I‘m sure International House

has an efficient way to learn English. The course I’ve taken is interesting and informative. I thoroughly enjoy every moment here!Grace Taiwan

IH is a professional,

homey and fun school. Their course variety is quite

sufficient for all the students with different

levels and interests. They have many

different levels of general ESL courses, a

Business course, and some classes which

specifically train you to enter colleges or

universities. Additionally, all the teachers

and staff members are super friendly and

helpful. I really appreciate their support

which enabled me to gain my English

skills and to have amazing time at IH!

I spent 4 week at IH Vancouver last summer, where I

met great people and awesome teachers. They helped

me to improve my English with fun interactive

activities. In the afternoons, I had to discover great

places all around Vancouver. I would really like to

encourage people to have an experience like mine and

I am really thankful to everybody who made my trip

unforgettable.

Vancouver is great - I really fell in! It’s not too big or crowded, right next to the sea and nature and you can get to know people from all over the world. This diversity and the friendly locals made it easy for me to improve my English. Beside the practice in everyday life the teachers from IH really helped me with learning the language. Learning English is fun at IH Vancouver.Loris Switzerland
