  • Surrounding Area
  • The Tamwood, Vancouver campus is situated on the second floor of a modern building and is centrally-located in the heart of Vancouver’s downtown district. A quick walk from the city's famous shopping district on Robson Street, the Tamwood campus is also a 5-minute stroll from Vancouver's lively theatre and concert venues, museums and art galleries. Home to 580,000 residents, Vancouver is regarded as Canada’s most beloved city with its close proximity to the spectacular sea-to-sky mountains, clear ocean views and a desirable climate, one of the mildest in Canada. Renowned for preserving its natural beauty within the city, Vancouver is home to one of North America’s largest urban parks, Stanley Park, frequented by cyclists, runners and roller-bladers and home to Douglas-fir and Western Hemlock trees hundreds of years old. Voted the “Best City in the Americas” in 2004 by Condé Nast Traveler magazine, Vancouver is a dynamic, multicultural city with people from nations around the world filling the streets and speaking languages ranging from English and Chinese to Italian and Punjabi. As the Host City of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Vancouver is large enough to offer world-class events yet still retains its enduring charm, safety and warm hospitality. Sports enthusiasts have no problem in finding a team to cheer for in Vancouver, a city home to dedicated fans that are serious about their sports teams, including the British Columbia Lions (Canadian Football League), the much-beloved Vancouver Canucks (NHL hockey), the Vancouver Canadians (baseball) and the Vancouver Whitecaps (soccer). Nestled along the Coast Mountain Range, Vancouver is a two-hour drive from the world-famous ski and snowboarding resort of Whistler/Blackcomb while the picturesque destinations of Vancouver Island, the Canadian Rockies, Victoria (British Columbia’s capital city) and Seattle in the United States are all nearby and offer fantastic weekend getaways.
• Study Options

  • Intensive English Program

  • Overview
  • Students enrolled in the program receive 20 hours (30 lessons) of classroom instruction per week. Students select their desired course length when registering at the beginning of each new session.
    
    The program offers seven levels of instruction from beginner to advanced. Placement in these levels depends upon the results of a placement test taken on the first day of class. The program's rigorous curriculum focuses on developing students' fundamental English skills in the areas of: grammar, writing, pronunciation, intonation, listening and speaking. The instruction of each ability level is uniquely structured, where students learn how to use practical English in real-life situations. Elective courses are offered during the afternoons where students can study topics pertinent to their personal interests, including: TOEFL Preparation, Business English and Integrated Skills.
    
    Tamwood has a strict "English Only" policy where students are required to speak in English while at school and during program-organized activities. This rule in addition to the friendly Tamwood atmosphere encourages students of different backgrounds to learn more about each other while using English as the common form of communication.
    
    Class sizes range from 10 to 15 students per class. Every effort is made to keep classes at an ideal size for effective English language instruction.

    初めての語学留学
    

    この学校の教師とサポーターたちはとても熱心に生徒のことを考えてくれるので、不安なことはありませんでした。授業後はアクティビティと呼ばれる活動もあります。その内容は先生がビーチや有名な橋などいろいろな所へ連れて行ってくれます。僕は初めての海外留学でとても不安だったのですが、この学校のおかげで、とても安心することができました。
