Language School of Canada is proud
to offer an interesting variety of after school activities both
in the school and beyond. All of our in-school activities
are free! The excursions in the city are either free or cheap. We
also organize trips out of the city for camping and touring other
Canadian cities and tourist attractions. Below are descriptions
of our school activities.

Each week, Language School of Canada
offers free and useful bonus classes for students! They
are at 3pm and are often specialized classes on a particular
subject, like listening, pronunciation, or grammar. Or
they could be a fun way to pracise conversation. They
might also be designed to help you with a specific skill,
like resume writing for example. Check out the calendar
and notice board for the next bonus class - and join us!

Book clubs a very common among Canadians,
so why not join us for our free after school book club! This
exciting school club is popular with students. Once
a week, on Thursday afternoons, students meet to discuss
a book they are reading.
The teacher guides students
through the book by focusing on vocabulary and comprehension
questions. Although it is fun, you'll learn a lot -
especially non-academic vocabulary that is very commonly
used everyday. Read a great book and talk about it
with other students. You'll have something to do after
school, and something to talk about too. |

This is a great
way to practise your English and meet a real Canadian. Most
guest speakers are native speakers and they have a special
interest in meeting foreign students to talk with. The
classes are absolutely free and students find them quite
interesting, informative a great way to interact with Canadians
that aren't your teachers. Topics include things
like changing careers, running your own business, identity
theft, favourite places in Toronto, making a TV show, and
other types of work the guest speakers do. Come take
advantage or this wonderful opportunity.

eXCURSIONS |
 |
Each month, we have a school trip to a
different restaurant in an interesting neighbourhood. Since
Toronto has so many ethnic neighbourhoods, students can
try a wide variety of cuisine from different countries
and experience the many authentic cultures that make
up Toronto's multicultural character. Try Greek
food in Greektown, Italian food in Little Italy, Chinese
buns in Chinatown, African food and others. More
chance to talk with your teacher and interesting food
at good prices!
|
| LOCAL NEIGHBOURHOODS |
We want to show our students local areas
and hang-outs that Torontians know and love. For
some of our after school activities, we take students
to a different area or place that is not on the typical
tourist map. These local tours include cool coffee
shops, hidden squares and places you probably wouldn't
discover on your own. Come explore with us!

| LOCAL EVENTS |
 |
Toronto has been
called a city of festivals. Most weekends, expecially
in the summer in Toronto, there is some sort of culural
or musical festival. When possible, Language School of
Canada takes students on after school activities to take
in these events and festivals. A summer trip to
play beach volleyball and see the Jazz festival is a
popular school excursion. The Royal Winter Fair,
the Luminato Festival and Gay Pride Parade are other
popular trips. You're sure to see something different!
