Overview

Start your journey as an exchange student in Canada! 

Living with a host family offers a unique opportunity to connect deeply with Canadian culture. As you build friendships, take part in daily routines, and embrace new perspectives, the language you’re learning becomes real and meaningful, helping you grow personally, academically, and culturally.

Studying in a Canadian high school prepares you for international studies at University, boosts your Academic English, writing, and speaking skills, and allows you to discover new teaching methods. 

Immerse yourself in a Canadian High School

You attend a local public high school and will be placed in Grade 10 or 11, or exceptionally in Grade 12. 

The curriculum includes a core academic program featuring subjects such as English or French, history, mathematics, and more. There is also an optional component that varies depending on the school. Canadian students are known to excel in science, reading, and mathematics.

If you have attended one full semester or a full year at your Canadian school, completed all required coursework, written the necessary exams, and achieved passing grades, you will be granted credit for each class you completed. In most provinces, students take four classes per semester. All your grades will be recorded on an official school transcript.

Accommodation

Our high school exchange programs in Canada offer students the chance to live in a welcoming and supportive environment with full board provided by carefully selected Canadian host families. These families open their homes and hearts, creating a warm atmosphere where cultural exchange happens naturally every day.

Canadians are eager to learn about your culture, traditions, and home country, making the exchange a true two-way experience. Many of our students remain in touch with their host families long after their program ends, often returning for visits with their own parents years later.

Each student is matched with a host family based on availability, personal interests, and hobbies, ensuring the best possible fit. Our local coordinators in Canada provide continuous support throughout the program. Whether students feel homesick, need academic reinforcement, or seek advice on family communication, help is always close by.

Students should be aware that in some cases, a change of host family may occur due to availability or family circumstances (such as relocation or job changes). Rest assured, every placement is handled with care to maintain comfort and stability.

Stay away from those people !! I totally regret dealing with those not trust worthy. First, I contacted them and I wanted trial lesson but then one of their staff popped up in the middle of the communication between me and the manager and prompted me to pay to get trial lesson but then the trial lesson was on Friday which was just exams. I couldn’t form an opinion until the first real class where I did not like their system and the way they teach so I demanded a refund where everyone kept throw me on one another, ignored me and then finally refused to give me my money. I am sad for the money I lost!

I really enjoyed the experience I had at Access, a great school, with great teachers and very supportive to all students !

I do not have anything to say but good things about my experience at Access. My medical English class was not what I had expected at first, but as more students joined, the dynamics changed for the better. My teacher from medical English was nice and understanding, and the learning process went well. All in all, Access was a great learning experience but they need to pay attention to how some students feel entitled to act like superiors and do not understand that the learning process is different for every person and that creates a toxic environment.

This school offers lots of programs for every level. Teachers are well organised and are able to give you advice and they help you so much. Also, the school offers workshops and some activities in the afternoon that are perfect for meeting new people and practicing English. I had a great time here!

The best school ever

I particularly liked the small classes, the good location, the regular joint excursions and the friendly teachers at Access English School. I also got to know lots of great people from around the world and am still in regular contact with some of them. I can only recommend the school and the city of Torono for a language study trip. Alo's tip: arrive a little early on the first day of school. The entrance is a bit difficult to find.

(Translated by Google) I'll never forget my time there. You meet so many great people and develop lifelong friendships. You also have a great relationship with the teachers. You can't compare it to a "normal" school – in a positive sense, that is. (Original) Ich werde die Zeit dort nie vergessen. Man trifft so viele tolle Menschen und es entstehen Freundschaften fürs Leben. Mit den Lehrern hat man auch ein tolles Verhältnis. Man kann es nicht mit "normaler" Schule vergleichen. Also im positiven Sinne.
