"Staying with an ILAC family was the best experience I have ever had. I got such a good homestay, they became my second family! I'm so glad to stay with them!"
"At ILAC, it is fun to study! My teacher always made the class atmosphere exciting. They are the most friendly people I have ever met. Also, students are really friendly and kind to each other. They do not hesitate to help each other. I am really surprised that people from different countries can be best friends. Wherever I go all over the world, I now have friends in every country."

"I chose ILAC to have the second best experience of my life, precisely because the first one was here, at the same place, in the same school 7 years ago. The quality of the classes, the diversity of activities offered and the multiculturalism of Toronto made me choose to live that dream again. Two of my friends from Brazil are coming to study at ILAC after my enthusiastic testimony about the experience at ILAC and the opportunities it provides."
"Back home, we learn English in a closed way, where education tends to focus on only grammar or vocabulary. On the other hand, at ILAC, I can learn English in a lot of different ways, from general knowledge or grammar to really specific and academic skills like in the business class. I like that way to learn English. For me, the atmosphere of the class is the most important aspect at ILAC."
"I am happy to be at ILAC! I can feel how much I am improving. The classes are dynamic and you never feel bored. The experience is amazing. You can meet people from different parts of the world and you can learn about different cultures. The teachers are professionals and kind to the students. Every day is a new experience. ILAC is such a good school, you will learn really fast!"
"At ILAC, teachers seek to inspire students in all aspects of their lives,by encouraging communication and building up students confidence and motivation. Outdoors activities help break the ice and boost the English learning process. ILAC is an institution where knowledge flows everywhere, making the learning process very pleasurable in a terrific atmosphere. My time at ILAC couldn't have been better. I really appreciate all good time lived and I hope I will be back soon!"
"I want to get a diploma in Tourism Management from Niagara College. To enter this college, I need to improve my English, and with ILAC’s help I can achieve my goals and dreams. I was pleasantly surprised when my Regional Ambassador at ILAC told me that it is possible to enter the college without TOEFL or IELTS tests because ILAC has many partnerships with different colleges and universities.
"Toronto is a multicultural city, full of opportunities and activities. This town is clean, rich in greenery and flowers, safe, the transportation system is efficient, and everyone is always ready to help you. There are all kinds of restaurants, pubs, shops and malls, so you can always find what you are looking for."

For sure ILAC was the best choice I had! The teachers, the buildings, he events, the method.everything is more than I expected! All the people I met here was amazing, friendly and they are here with the same purpose: improve the language. But this time here was more than that it was the best experience in my whole life.
The best thing about this school is its human and professional quality. The staff always tries to make your experience as pleasant as possible. You can also meet many people of different nationalities and above all and the most important thing, you learn English.

I spent three weeks studying at ILAC and my overall impression was good. Teachers are great, rooms with plenty of space and they teach English in a fun and productive way. The activities promoted by ILAC are really good and cheap as well. I went on a trip to Niagara Falls with ILAC and it was an unforgettable experience for me. Something that is also worth mentioning is that at ILAC, you will get in touch with different cultures and have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I would defintely recommend the school!
