7. Bright Yellow School Buses

Not only do students get to go on excellent excursions, they also get to travel in bright yellow school buses! Feel like a kid again as everyone sings songs and plays games on a school bus!

6. Private Bedrooms

Students who elect to live on campus are housed in suites in Humber's comfortable and modern residence. Each suite has two separate bedrooms and a shared kitchenette and washroom. Each suite has a phone, is fully furnished, and is air-conditioned!

Monitors ensure that students in our Summer Language Program have an amazing experience at Humber College. In addition to running workshops, monitors also accompany students on excursions, conduct Showcase Events and help students to improve their English.

4. Make Friends From Around the World

Students in our Language Programs come from all parts of Canada and from all over the world! Students from over 65 countries have participated in our programs. Learn English in a culturally diverse atmosphere.

3. Complete English Immersion

Humber ensures that students learn English in a complete immersion setting. For example, on the first day of our Summer Language program, there is an orientation assembly and students sign a contract confirming that they will speak English only for the entire five weeks of the program. Although the language policy is strict, it is conducted in a positive, comfortable environment and students are not intimidated to express themselves in English.

2. Balanced Academic Program

Our Language Programs are structured to include a perfect mixture of classes, workshops, and socio-cultural activities. Students in our EAP program receive over 300 hours of language instruction both in class and in our language lab. In our summer Language Program, students receive a total of 140 hours of language experience, consisting of formal language classes, electives, workshops, and educational field trips.
