“Being in GV Calgary has been one of the best choices I have ever made in my life. Not only have I improved my English, but also I made friends from other continents which is actually what I was hoping, when I first arrived in Calgary. I fell in love with Calgary and its wonderful surroundings. The Calgarians are super cool and the activities are 100% fun. Thank you GV Calgary for being part of my journey, and I’ll see you again soon when I start my postgraduate at SAIT.” – Camilo, Colombia

“My experience at Global Village Toronto has been one of the most wonderful in my life because there, you can learn English and at the same time have a fun time with all the staff and GV students during your stay. You not only have a funny time inside your class, but also there are many activities organized by GV so you can enjoy all of them, explore the city, get to know people from other countries and the most important: learn English. Global Village is the best English school and your best option to combine learning and having fun according to the slogan: Serious Learning, Serious Fun!� - Oscari, Mexico
