A world class city....
Toronto is an exciting place to learn English. With a population of almost three million, Toronto is Canada's largest city. Toronto is also known as "the world's newest great city." The United Nations has ranked Canada as the world's most liveable country for the past three consecutive years. Our downtown streets are safe, clean and easy to get around - you can walk everywhere. Toronto is also a very multi-cultural city.
Here in Toronto you will never be bored. There are many sights to see as well as many activities to choose from. Go bicycling along the lakefront, see a play in one of our many theatres, sample food in our international restaurants, watch an NBA basketball game, enjoy a boat cruise on Lake Ontario, or just relax in one of our many beautiful parks. Toronto offers something special for everyone! |

Bright, Spacious Classrooms
ACCESS has bright, spacious classrooms that are comfortable and designed to facilitate interaction between students and their teacher.
Student Lounges
We have two student lounge areas where students can eat lunch, or just relax and talk to friends. The student kitchen area is equipped with microwave ovens, a water cooler, and a refrigerator for student use.
Large, Modern Computer Lab
Our internet lab is modern, large, and well equipped. We have many computers for student use, so our students never have to wait to use the internet. All computers have high-speed internet, and the capabilities to type in various languages. CD-ROM’s are available for students who wish extra practice with grammar or pronunciation. The school is a “WI-FI hot-spot? so students can enjoy the convenience of surfing the net wireless with their own notebook computer from anywhere in the school.
Multimedia Lending Library
In addition, ACCESS has a listening lab that students can use before or after school for extra listening practice. Listening materials are available on loan from the reception desk. Students may use them at school or take them home. We also have an extensive video library with a collection of over 200 Hollywood movies that students can rent free of charge. It’s a great way to practice your English after school!
The school also has a TV and VCR available for student use before or after school, or at lunch time. Sports equipment, as well as kitchen cooking kits (for students living in a dormitory) is also available to students on loan. |

Host families
We have many types of homestay families. Although you cannot specifically choose your family, you can tell us what kind of family you prefer. We will do our best to match you with a host that meets your preferences. Here are some preferences you can request:
- married couple, no children
- married couple, with children
- single person
- dog or cat in house (most families in Canada have a dog and/or cat. These animals will not go in your bedroom)
- other students
One of the most important parts of homestay is spending time speaking in English with your family at meal time. Students selecting breakfast only (usually breakfast is self-serve) will not have nearly as much interaction with the family. For this reason, we recommend students select 2 or 3 meals per day. |
