If you want to have an adventure and brush up on your English skills, then Vancouver is just the place for you. Located in the southwest corner of British Columbia, Vancouver is a very young city (just over one hundred years old) and is only a short distance from the US border. It offers visitors ample amounts of shopping, outdoor activities, and some of the most breathtaking scenery that Canada has to offer. Vancouver is often revered as Canada's most beautiful city: with a picturesque waterfront and a backdrop covered in rolling mountains the skyline is like no other you can imagine. It also has the distinct advantage of being much further south than most other major Canadian cities, which is reflected in its mild (but rainy) climate and moderate winters. When you are not studying English courses in Vancouver take some time to enjoy perusing Stanley Park, the city's most popular destination or heading to nearby mountains to hit the slopes in winter.
The High School Bridge Program is to assist students in preparing to study in Canadian High Schools. Students develop their overall English ability along with practicing doing math, social studies, science and language arts in English.
On their first day, students are tested and assigned to an English class based on their level. Students follow a carefully designed curriculum that stresses all English skills including speaking, reading, writing, grammar, listening and vocabulary.

How long should I study?
The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
