English Outdoors Toronto, Canada
Chestnut Residence, 89 Chestnut Street - M5G 1R1 Toronto - see on mapWhat we like about the school
- Very favorable cancellation terms. You can cancel courses with less than 8 days notice.
What we dislike about the school
- Older students should consider that the average age of students at the school is significantly younger than at most other schools.
Venue: The city of Toronto is host to English Outdoors’ unique programmes which combine language classes and location discovery into a seamless linguistic and cultural experience. On the shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is a vibrant city full of diverse neighbourhoods to be discovered. Each part of the city has its own special feel and the reliable public transportation system makes it easy to get to know them.
The Programmes: What makes English Outdoors’ programmes different from other summer language school options is the fact that there is no school building. The location itself becomes the school. Classes are held at a different public location every day, indoors and outdoors, from cafés to public parks and important landmarks in the city. Group sizes are small and classes focus on fluency and communication. The public locations are key in this concept as this puts students in a position to interact with native speakers daily. Excursions and activities all work towards improving students' language skills while they experience local culture first hand.
Locations: Students with English Outdoors in Toronto will discover some of the best the city (and surrounding area) has to offer. This can include: the CN Tower, the Royal Ontario Museum, the main campus of the University of Toronto, the Distillery District, Kensington Market, Niagara Falls, and Canada’s Wonderland.
Accommodation: Students attending English Outdoors’ summer programmes stay at Chestnut Residence in the downtown core. Located right next to Toronto City Hall, the residence is two blocks away from the St Patrick Subway Station, and near the Dundas Streetcar line. The residence is equipped with a gym open 24 hours, and top floor lounges with panoramic views of the city. Morning and evening meals are taken in the onsite dining hall and cafeteria.
