Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Toronto. These homes are often between 25 - 50 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 18+. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Student residences often do not include any meal plan.

No wonder people call Toronto ‘the world within a city.’ This vibrant metropolis, which is home to more than 100 different ethnic and cultural groups, is the most multicultural city on the planet. Set on the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario, Toronto is also Canada’s largest city with a population of 5.1 million. It’s a city of neighborhoods, each with its own rich history and unique charm and character. Funky and fashionable Queen Street West, the eclectic Danforth, and elegant Yorkville are just a few of the favorites.
ILSC students love exploring Toronto’s great outdoors, sailing to the Toronto Islands, picnicking in High Park or taking day trips to spectacular Niagara Falls. You can ride roller coasters at Canada’s Wonderland or ride camels at the world-famous Toronto Zoo. Summer in Toronto means street festivals, celebrations and outdoor concerts late into the night – and don’t miss Caribana in July, a week-long celebration of Caribbean culture with non-stop music and dancing.
