testimonialsInternational house is very International!
I can meet and study English with a variety of
students from different countries.
Also, teachers have unbelievable teaching
styles. They are all very funny and easy
to understand, so I actually improved my
English! And IH is downtown, which is a good
environment to study English for students.
I think I made a good decision to come to IH for
everything. I still keep in touch with my friends
and teachers from IH.
That is why International House is seriously the
best school in Vancouver.
Thank you.
Rosie, Korea
I‘m sure International House
has an efficient way to learn
English. The
course I’ve taken
is interesting and
informative. I
thoroughly enjoy
every moment
here!Grace Taiwan
IH is a professional,
homey and
fun school. Their course variety is quite
sufficient for all the students with different
levels and interests. They have many
different levels of general ESL courses, a
Business course, and some classes which
specifically train you to enter colleges or
universities. Additionally, all the teachers
and staff members are super friendly and
helpful. I really appreciate their support
which enabled me to gain my English
skills and to have amazing time at IH!
Ayako, Japan
IH has a very nice environment for anyone who wants to succeed with their studies. It provides the right balance between education and fun activities.
Faisal, Saudi Arabia
My time at IH Vancouver was by far the best experience of my life! Having had the opportunity to travel to a country to learn a different language and living in one of the best cities in the world, experiencing a new cultures, making friends of all nationalities and learning a new language with teachers of excellence turned this adventure into something that no one should miss.Raphaela, Brazil
I came to Vancouver, Canada in 2013 to improve my English, so that I could go to University to make my dreams come true. I was very lucky to come to International House, Vancouver and I must say my experience here has been amazing. Here they have a huge range of classes, activities and trips. The teachers and staff here are very friendly and they advised me on the best courses for my level. At International House I did not just learn English but learnt about different cultures and met and made friends with students from all
over the world. If you want to improve your English in a friendly and welcoming environment, this is the school for you! At International House, Vancouver you can live your dream.
Fahad, Saudi Arabia
I spent 4 week at IH Vancouver last summer, where I
met great people and awesome teachers. They helped
me to improve my English with fun interactive
activities. In the afternoons, I had to discover great
places all around Vancouver. I would really like to
encourage people to have an experience like mine and
I am really thankful to everybody who made my trip
unforgettable.
Clémence, Switzerland
The teachers and staff were very kind and helpful, I loved it! They care about you a lot and I had a very happy time here at IH. The structure of the school is perfect!Eduardo, Brazil
Vancouver is great - I really fell in! It’s not too big or crowded, right next to the sea and nature and you can get to know people from all over the world. This diversity and the friendly locals made it easy for me to improve my English. Beside the practice in everyday life the teachers from IH really helped me with learning the language. Learning English is fun at IH Vancouver.Loris Switzerland
I love IH. I was a student in 2012 and this organization will stay forever in my heart. It was the best time of my life. All teachers and management were very friendly and I can recommend everyone come to Vancouver. Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and IH offers the possibility to experience the city while learning English, having fun and making new friends.Lukas, Czech Rep.
