This international language institute is nestled in a residential area close to homestays, yet it is still close to many shopping malls and is conventionally located next to a metro station for easy access to Montreal's major attractions. The facilities offer a fresh, spacious environment, and is in a fast developing area of Montreal, where many buildings and urban projects are being constructed. The building is surrounded by windows, letting in plenty of natural light into classrooms and common areas. Have a look at the pictures below for a sneak peek of the new facilities!
Location was little bit bad, but I blessed nice classmate and teachers.
Also my french skills was better than before.
I'm glad went to french international school.
My teacher was great (Jocelyne), but in the next level we (level 5,6,7) were like put together and we didn't learn much. It wasn't the fault of the teacher, because he tried it really hard to make it work. So I was a little bit disappointed the last two weeks...My homestay was (for me) ok, I didn't talk much to my host-mother, because she was living in the other half of the house. So I didn't learn much of French at home. But like I said for me it was good, because I had my freedom. But I also think, that it isn't a very good idea to put people under 18 years in this homestay, because you literally live on your own. The location is ok, it isn't central, but it's close to the metro.

The teachers, besides being competent are very friendly. Love specially the Conversation class teacher, he is a gentleman. The school location is OK considering that the transport systems work really well. As for the facilities, the school has very good facilities with clean and comfortable classrooms and kitchen and labs, and so on. The activities I took part in were the 'Club Classes', where I could have some extra conversation exercises, reading and listenin', I recommend these extra activities 'cause they work as a complement and the teacher can help almost individually.
The residence Guylaine Hudon is very comfortable and the location is awesome! Loved the house and the welcome reception.
If I need to say something I missed, is more extra activities with other students provided by the school after class or on weekend...

I enjoyed the students effect and the school atmosphere, the two teachers I had were well qualified. On the other hand a month is a little short and I would have liked more sustained courses in the amount of time. I think that fstrategy was not really adapted.

Dear Adi,
Thank you very much for such a positive feedback! The teachers were very glad to know about that!
All the best!
My overall stay in Montréal was amazing! MIILA itself is not very good. The school in general was very old and not maintained, the classrooms were outdated, not climatised and very small but that aside I learned a lot. The teachers were good in general but each teacher had his or her own personal style and way of teaching and it could be hard to transfer from one teacher to another. As a student you had a great influence on the teaching and what you wanted to learn or revise and that was great. All students are supposed to be on the same level in the classes, but it is very different what one already knows grammar-wise, etc.
The atmosphere at MIILA was very friendly and people are willing to help you with whatever. There are a lot of activities and things to participate in, both in Montréal and in Canada and the USA.
Dear Jeanett,
We hope that you are well.
Thank you very much for your comments, we really appreciate to receive the feed back of our students, this way we will continue working hard to improve every day.
We hope to see you soon.
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
I studied English & French at MIILA for 6 months after I started my university studies in Montreal. Today, five years later, I can say that I became a Montrealean.
I would not be the person I am if I had not had the opportunity to study at Montreal, MIILA.
Thanks to MIILA, I speak English and French perfectly.
Hola Alejandra,
Nous espérions que vous allez bien.
Merci pour vos commentaires, nous sommes vraiment heureux de t'avoir eu parmi nos étudiants.
Nous vous remercions encore une fois d'avoir fait une grande partie de vos études au Canada à MIILA et nous vous souhaitons beaucoup du succès dans votre avenir.
Au plaisir,
It's a really nice school, small and comfortable ready to make us feel at home.
The classes with 8 people give us more attention from the teachers and we can learn much more.
The location is perfect, 2 min walking from the principal street in Montreal, Saint Catherine.
Because I went during the summer, we had a lot of activities inside and outside.
I most recommend this school for teenagers. Either way, I got to make a lot of friends and I had really good moments there.
Olá Fernanda,
We hope that you are well.
Thank you very much for your comments.. We are so happy to know that you liked our school and we seek to see you again here.Probably next winter?
Have a wonderful day.
All the best.
As the school is quite small it had a really friendly atmosphere and the staff made you feel welcomed and at home. I chose to stay in a Student Residence and the woman who owned the building was also really lovely and took care to make sure all the students staying in the flat were happy.
The school is very centrally located in very easy walking distance of 2 metro stations. It makes it really easy to explore the city in the afternoons after classes have ended and the OPUS card/pass is also good value.
Although I was only in Montreal for 3 weeks I really enjoyed my stay and would happily return to MIILA in the future.
Dear Sophie,
Thank you for choosing MIILA.
It was a real pleasure to meet you. We really appreciate your comments and we still looking forward to see you again.
Our best wishes.
Studying English at Miila school was for me THE EXPERIENCE for the last summertime. My progamm was the 4 weeks intensive one, and the lessons and the tools used by the teacher were really adapted and helpful. When you enter the school until you leave it, as a student you are not allowed to use another language except the one you have chosen to learn. That is a very good training to speak fluently and to become more spontaneous in the English speaking. The teacher was very patient and gave us many new tools and exercises to have a better knowledge of specific vocabulary and grammar. I also really appreciated the human contacts with all MIILA's staff who is very available for any need or question, and with the other students. I recommend Miila school to anyone who plans to study in a language school in Montreal, because you will have a high quality level in education as well as great extra activities to have fun and to discover wonderful places in Montreal and around. Last, but not least it is a good opportunity to meet new people from other cultures. I wish I had more time to subscribe for a higher levels...it will be maybe for next year. Good job Miila...

Bonjour Mariam!,
Thank you very much for your comments. We are really happy to see that your experience in our school and that you are planning to come back soon.
We hope to see you here then.
Have a great day.
I had my first experience with MIILA in 2012 when I came for only 1 month for Summer camp. It was very nice; everything was new and beautiful for me. There were students from different cultures studying together and doing a lot of activities. As it was my first time out of my country, I was a bit afraid of this experience, but as soon as I arrived, MIILA made me feel a part of the family. Everybody who works there is very kind, attentive and friendly. I stayed in a homestay, and the family was really nice to me and to other international students. I was able to improve my English and have fun.
Well, I liked it so much that I came back this year, but now to study French and for a longer period of time.
The teachers at MIILA are really qualified and friendly, what makes it easier to learn a new language. The MIILA’s team is amazing; they are always there to help us. One great quality of the school is its location: in downtown area close to all good restaurants, stores, shopping malls and public transportation.
As I said, I am staying for a longer period this time and I live on my own, which let me see that Montreal is a great modern city full of values, secure and clean. There are always a lot of activities organized in the city, and the people are very polite. Every day I discover something new, and I love it more and more being here. So I have already decided that I won't stop: my next step is work and study program.
Hi Leticia,
Thank you very much for your comments.
We were really happy to know that you had a great time in the school. It was a pleasure for us have you as a student.
We hope to see you soon.
Our best wishes.
MIILA is small school but they make you feel at home!
It is close to downtown and Metro station so the location is pretty good.
Teachers are helping us a lot! One of my teachers found our weak point of English and she gave us some practice for each student! It was very helpful! Also the students are friendly. Everyday class is dynamic!!
Dear Shiho,
Thank you very much for your comments! We were really happy to have you in our Language Institute.
We hope that you will come back soon.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Studying there was really nice, our (my wife's and my) teacher was an excellent teacher. He definitely knows how to teach.
A lot of games and outside classes (those were the best).
Otherwise, the school's manager was not so good. All the time new students came to join our class. Some of them were in different levels (lower level). That made it really difficult to keep the class flowing.
But... as I said... the teachers made it worth it.
Dear Marcelo,
