Overview

English Encounters teaches on Brant Street in Burlington, Ontario. Its main group lessons are held in the morning and the intensive combination adds individual work after lunch. The combination can suit students who want peer interaction and time with a teacher to focus on a personal goal such as an exam or work communication. The Brant Street school offers a progression from morning group work to longer formats that keep the same general English base. This is useful for learners who want regular interaction in a small class but need extra time on a specific skill. The intensive combination adds one-to-one work rather than more group lessons, while the Plus option adds group practice. Ask what the school can offer at your level before planning afternoon activities or arranging housing around the morning timetable. The school lists its teaching address as 591 Brant Street, Suite A. The school describes the site as being in central Burlington, Ontario.

Fees

Four weeks of General English in the 2026 price list cost CAD 1,300 and registration is CAD 200. Four billed weeks of private homestay at the listed starting rate of CAD 300 per week, plus CAD 350 placement, give a reference subtotal of CAD 3,050. Ask for the confirmed room rate, exact 28-night charge and required materials. The tariff separately lists health insurance at CAD 15 per week, airport pickup at CAD 200 and return transfer at CAD 100. Check the applicable conditions for the chosen dates. Tuition and registration account for CAD 1,500 of the estimate. At the published starting rate, the host room and placement account for another CAD 1,550. If the listed insurance is purchased for four weeks, add CAD 60. The two published airport transfers together would add CAD 300 if both are booked. These figures use the 2026 adult tariff and do not establish a host’s exact 28-night price. Ask the school to confirm any supplement or additional night. The placement charge is separate from the weekly room rate.

Accommodation

The 2026 price guide describes a private host-family room with a desk and Wi-Fi, plus breakfast and dinner daily. The school can also help source furnished apartments, hotels and bed-and-breakfast accommodation. These are individually quoted. Confirm the walking or transit route, room facilities and dates with the school before booking. The school’s host description includes a desk and Wi-Fi, which may be useful if you want to study after class. Ask whether the room has a shared bathroom and whether weekend meals follow the same plan. A furnished apartment or hotel is individually quoted and should be compared for the same dates.
