You can come as a family grouping and request instruction for your family only. You can come as a group or come by yourself. You can have a homestay option, or you can stay at one of the many fine Bed & Breakfast establishments or resorts on Quadra Island

You will have morning classes with your teacher and afternoon activities. You will share experiences with your teacher, who will design the lessons around activities that you do. . This is called experiential learning, and when it is combined with appropriate instruction, it is a very easy and fun way to learn. You will use the language that you learn immediately, at the right place at the right time. It's a great way to learn. We do pronunciation exercises, vocabulary building, and journal writing. We can also help students on other specific areas which they may like to work on, such as grammar, paragraph writing, and essay writing. We always try to accommodate any special interests and requests.
