Learn English, French or both and experience life in Montreal
The EC Young Achievers programme is perfect for teenagers aged 15 to 18 who want to add extra features to their English and/or French course. Features that will improve their individual interests and skills, building foundations for further growth within their chosen area of education in college or university.
Study English and/or French
You will learn English and/or French in Montreal with other, equally motivated students of your age group. Our skilled, trained teachers will guide you to develop the language in a productive, supportive atmosphere inside and outside the classroom. By talking with other students, you will also develop interpersonal and conversational skills to carry with you for life.
'Language on The Go' Activities
In these activities (see activities), you will be brought out of the classroom and into real world scenarios to flex your conversational skills. These activities could be a Photography and Video Workshop at the Apple Store, a visit to the Montreal History Museum, a Street Art tour and many others. In this way, you will use your language to learn more about the local culture.
Project-based Learning
The EC Montreal Young Achievers curriculum is specifically designed for students aged 15 to 18. EC Montreal uses project-based learning which is an instructional methodology that encourages students to learn and apply knowledge and skills through an engaging experience. EC’s Young Achievers programme aims to prepare students for their post-secondary studies and beyond.
Young Achievers
Through learning a language together and sharing a common interest, you will make friendships to last a lifetime! This is an added benefit of the themes. The experiences you have will form a secure bond as together you develop skills and talents to take back home and maybe even use towards future study in college or university.

I really liked my class, and both the instructor and the curriculum were impressive. But my favorite part was the fluency and eagerness of the students. I speak at an advanced level and was nervous that the class was "Intermediate," but it was perfectly advanced and taught at a nice clip. I thoroughly recommend this school.
Show details » Read more...I liked this concept. It’s better than French lessons.
I had two teachers. I appreciated this. I had good relations with my partners into the classroom and I met beautiful people.
I would have preferred to have had the information meeting before arriving in Canada. This point has never been clear in the organization. I missed a lesson in class because the meeting was on the first day. It's a shame because I only had a week of lessons.
My teacher was a fantastic French teacher! I would request her again if / when I come back
Show details » Read more...As soon as I arrived, I received a warm welcome along with a 1 on 1 orientation. Went through the necessary documentation and began learning. The class sizes makes the experience seem more personal. The location is great which makes break time lunch and/or snacks conveniently located.

Show details » Read more...EC Montreal was able to find the right teacher for my needs.
He adapted our one to one class to my level and understood what I needed to focus on while covering the basics which one always needs to review.
The school is located in the heart of Montreal at a 3 min walk from the nearest subway station.
I did not participate to any of the activities nor did I use the housing the school offered having other occupations outside of the school. Also, I was very glad that they were able to reschedule classes that i couldn't attend to.
I would highly recommend EC Montreal for their one to one program.
Fine, a little bit chaotic at the beginning but then it all worked out. The staff at the office were helpful.

Dear John,
Thank you very much for your nice words.
We are glad to hear that you had a great time with EC Montreal.
We look forward to having you back with us one day in the future
Best wishes
Learning in EC School was fun, although I only stayed for one week. It was an amazing experience, to say the least. The teachers and staff of the school were so nice. The school made me eager to learn because this school was just a warm place where everyone wanted to help you, and this helped me learn more French than I expected. Staying at Varcity515 was nice for its great location and the attention given to small details.

I felt overwhelmed at first but I soon settled in comfortably. It was only once that I felt some students were taking over the lesson, but the teacher got us back on track. I really liked the cooking class but I would recommend it for an intermediate French speaker. All in all it was a great experience. I have nothing but good words to say about EC International.

I especially liked the teachers that were very respectful and kind.
