Montreal

Montreal, in the bilingual Quebec region, is one of the biggest cultural melting pots in Canada. It is beautiful at any time of the year – the spring and summer offer music, film, arts, cultural and sports festivals; the autumn is ideal for hiking and mountain climbing; and the winter offers a paradise for snowboarding and skiing. Montreal in the snow looks like a fairytale city.
The French settled here and called the “kingly mountain” towering above them, “Montréal”. Now, it is home to a variety of nationalities, making it the second largest metropole in Canada, with 3.4 million inhabitants.
The Chinese quarter of the city, with its small restaurants sporting paper lanterns and emitting wafts of star-anise and cumin, or the Latin-American quarter, with its spirited inhabitants, are obvious signs of the multicultural character of the city. Underground, you will find a completely different ‘quarter’, 18 miles full of boutiques, shops and restaurants, all inter-connected so that unpleasant weather doesn’t dampen your shopping spirits! East of the Mont-Royal mountain, artists have settled in the Plateau Mont-Royal area, with its village-like charm and excellent restaurants.

Over the cobble stone pavements in Old Montreal, horse-drawn carriages are still in use. The neo-gothic style Notre-Dame Basilica and the old harbour with its museums are to be found here. From the harbour, experience the beautiful view across to the nearby islands of Saint Île Notre-Dame und Île Sant-Hélène.The green city of Montreal is a cultural metropolis: it is home to various theatres, cafes, restaurants and a very lively nightlife.

The school

Tuition can be booked for English or for French. It is also possible to learn both languages on one course.

Our school is situated in the heart of town, on Sherbrooke Street. The school is located in the "Golden Mile" district, near the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Montreal Mountain Park. There are various shops, cafes and art galeries. It is also near the metro and bus station.

All tutors are very friendly and helpful and they will encourage students to make the most of their learning experience. The tutors specialise in teaching English and French as a foreign language.

Sightseeing in Montreal

Montreal is famous for its museums, parks and clubs. We recommend a visit to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts which has collections of ethnographic objects and paintings from the 19th century, the entry for which is free.
The Notre Dame Basilica, which is nothing like the Cathedral of the same name in Paris, is home to a rich collection of paintings, statues and altar pieces. Its bell, the Gros Bourdon, is the biggest bell in the world. There are various other churches in Montreal well worth a visit.

Mount Royal is a perfect finishing point for an excursion as it offers beautiful views of the town, as far as the river and the mountains. Especially in the Summer, it is ideal for picnics, but the town centre with its many restaurants is not far either.
We strongly recommend a visit to the Underground City. It is a city up to 10 metres below Montreal and the buildings are joined by underground alleyways. You will find all kinds of shops, restaurants, cinemas, hotels and theatreshere. It is especially suitable for shopping during the Winter which can be very cold in Montreal.
Our school organises excursions to Quebec City as well as weekend skiing trips.
