Overview
LSI Toronto offers General English alongside academic, business and exam preparation courses. The General 20 timetable is a fit for students who want four lessons a day and time for independent practice afterwards. Those choosing a short stay should check their placement level first, as the beginner track requires a longer booking. The Toronto school gives learners a choice between a General 20 schedule and the longer Intensive 30 format, with separate options for exam and academic goals. General 20 suits students who want structured practice and time for independent work after class. The eight-week minimum for beginners is important when choosing a four-week stay. Check placement before booking and use the Toronto tariff for the course and accommodation. The school publishes a separate Toronto accommodation guide for students comparing local host placements and residences. The school identifies its Toronto location with the residential Rosedale neighbourhood.

Intensive 30 adds ten weekly lessons. If you are entering at beginner level, compare the full eight-week booking with the four-week reference for other levels.

The Toronto 2026 tariff charges CAD 420 per week for a four-week General 20 booking. Four weeks of tuition cost CAD 1,680 and registration adds CAD 185. Adding CAD 230 placement and 28 nights of standard adult single-room homestay gives CAD 3,195 with breakfast or CAD 3,335 with half board, before insurance. The school lists insurance at CAD 40 per week and one-way airport transfer at CAD 150. The examples exclude summer and Christmas supplements, special diets and private bathrooms. Confirm coverage requirements and the rate for the chosen dates. With four weeks of the listed insurance (CAD 160), the two sample totals are CAD 3,355 and CAD 3,495. The difference between the two standard host examples is CAD 140 over four weeks. The course and registration account for CAD 1,865 in each example before placement and housing. One listed airport transfer would add CAD 150 to the relevant total. Ask whether seasonal pricing applies to any part of the stay, and use the separate residence tariff if selecting a residence instead of a host family.

Accommodation
Host-family bookings run Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday. Single rooms are available with breakfast or half board. An executive room with private bathroom is subject to availability and costs extra. The price list also identifies a seasonal Toronto Metropolitan University residence and Casa Residences with separate rates and booking terms. The Toronto housing guide asks students to check with the school before booking flights. A room with a private bathroom uses the executive category and depends on availability. For a seasonal residence, check the opening and closing dates and the kitchen arrangements before comparing the room with breakfast or half board.
