Founded in 1989, Archer College provides excellent language learning instruction to non-native English speakers to help them quickly reach their academic goals. Operating under the experienced guidance of the Archer Education Group, Archer College offers rigorous academic curriculums among its three locations in Toronto, Vancouver and Hamilton - an intimate city outside of Toronto. At Archer College, students study in complete, comprehensive programs to improve their English language skills in all areas through practical communication and effective skills-building exercises. As an added benefit, students intending to study in degree programs after achieving an advanced level of English have the option of transferring to Archer College's fully-accredited university transfer programs without requiring a TOEFL exam. Archer College's collaboration with select universities provides its graduates the opportunity to continue their studies and complete an undergraduate degree in Canada. These universities include: Royal Roads University; Cape Breton University; and Athabasca University. With Canada being one of the safest, most welcoming and beautiful countries in the world, students are encouraged to see and experience life outside of the classroom, whether independently or through the array of activities, sports, city tours and weekend trips arranged by Archer College. Archer instructors incorporate local field trips in to their curriculum to help students practice their English, see more of the local environment and meet friendly Canadians. The Archer Education Group is a member of the Canadian Education Centre Network (CECN); Archer College Toronto is also a member of the Canadian Language Industry Association (AILIA).

| The Archer College campus sits in the heart of downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city situated on Lake Ontario and the fifth largest in North America. Home to 4.7 million residents, Toronto is considered one of the world's most diverse cities where over 100 languages and dialects are spoken throughout the city. The nature of Toronto's multiculturalism is reflected in its wonderful mosaic of distinctive neighborhoods. Many explore the colorful Victorian houses of Kensington Market, the open-air food stalls, fruit markets and cuisines of Chinatown, the top-of-the-line Italian fashion shops, caf駸 and restaurants of Corso Italia, and the wooden boardwalk and antique shops of The Beaches. Art lovers frequently wander through the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Trevor Allan Gallery while music enthusiasts avidly enjoy the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival featuring more than 1,500 international and Canadian musicians at more than 40 different venues, in addition to the lavish Broadway-style musicals performed in the downtown Theatre District. Sports enthusiasts are sure to join Toronto's local avid fans in cheering on the Toronto Raptors (NBA basketball), the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL hockey), the Toronto Lynx (soccer), the Toronto Blue Jays (Major League baseball) and the Toronto Argonauts (Canadian Football League). Toronto is home to a number of prominent landmarks, most familiarly being the CN tower - the world's tallest freestanding structure standing at 553 meters; Yonge Street, the world's longest street; and the Skydome, the world's first domed stadium with a fully-retractable roof. More than 60% of the American population is within a 90-minute flight from Toronto, making weekend trips to such cosmopolitan destinations as Boston, New York City, Washington D.C. and Chicago an ease. |
