Overview
The On-Campus Summer Program is a combination of both English classes and exciting afternoon and evening activities every day from Monday to Friday. There are also weekend outings and events. Students can choose between university residence and homestay accommodations. They will be divided into groups based on age.
University of British Columbia Campus (Vancouver)
The University of British Columbia, with an international reputation for academic excellence and adjacent to the 763-hectare Pacific Spirit Park, is only a 30-minute journey from the heart of downtown. An impressive range of facilities such as an aquatic centre, libraries, sports fields, winter sports centre, shops, restaurants, banks, gymnasiums, and computer labs add to its importance as a focal point on Vancouver's west side.
Students
Coming from all over the world, our students are immersed in an exciting international atmosphere where they have excellent opportunities to meet and interact with other international students. They also learn about Canadian culture, an essential part of their language learning experience. We have received strong interest in this program from many countries around the world, and it is our policy to maintain a good nationality mix with all of our programs.
Age Groups
Students will be separated into separate classes according to their age. The three groups will not be integrated into the same classes. Youth under 13 years old will be accompanied by a Eurocentres representative or adult at all times.
Overview
These courses provide students with the opportunity to study English in our Basic Course while experiencing great Canadian winter activities. The program fees include full-board homestay and airport reception.
Ski / Snowboard in Vancouver
Students will have one full-day and one half day of skiing/snowboarding each week at one of British Columbia's ski resorts, including world famous Whistler Mountain, future home to the 2010 Winter Olympic Alpine and Nordic events.
