Victoria, CanadaEnglish

Official school website ↗ 日本語版

Overview

The Victoria campus is on Broad Street in central Victoria, within the downtown area. The Standard timetable leaves part of the day free for independent study or exploring the city. Learners preparing for IELTS can also ask about the campus-specific IELTS electives and their entry requirements. The school is at Suite 202, 1290 Broad Street in downtown Victoria. Its city guide describes a setting where students can attend cultural events, festivals and concerts between lessons or on days off. Students comparing the two Global Village locations should use Victoria’s programme and travel details, since the campus has its own exam preparation and transfer options. A learner interested in short general English can plan activities around the Standard course, while an IELTS candidate can check the campus’s preparation timetable and placement level. Ask the school which events or activities will run during the dates you choose.
