Founded in 1969, Hansa Language Centre is one of the largest language schools in Canada. Offering a wide variety of classes, a flexible schedule, and a long list of trips, excursions, sports and social activities identifies Hansa as a leader in shaping the overall development of English language learners. The design of Hansa's ESL program is based upon the belief that each student benefits most from a program customized to their individual needs. With over 300 classes led each day by a talented roster of 70 instructors, Hansa allows students to select their course of study pertinent to their individual needs by choosing from the subject menu to study: grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, reading, idioms, conversation, listening, pronunciation, presentations, Business English, TOEFL and TOEIC. As an added benefit, students intending to study at universities, colleges or technical schools after completing their English courses are entitled to use Hansa's university placement service free-of-charge. In fact, Hansa works closely with Canadian Colleges and Universities, not only scheduling information seminars and campus visits, but also offering scholarships and bursaries to Hansa graduates. Outside of the classroom, students have plenty of opportunities to participate in Hansa-organized activities, including: weekly movie nights; salsa dancing classes; karaoke singing; excursions to Niagara Falls and the CN Tower; and trips to Algonquin National Park, Montreal, and New York City.

This housing option is ideal for those students who want to experience Canadian culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Hotels, independently-operated residences and private apartments are also available near the Hansa campus and throughout Toronto; however students must make their own arrangements.

| Hansa Language Centre's campuses are situated in the cosmopolitan city of Toronto, Canada, the nation's largest city and the fifth largest in North America, following Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Home to 4.7 million residents, Toronto - a name stemmed from a native Huron Indian word meaning "meeting place" - is deemed to be one of the world's most diverse cities where over 100 languages and dialects are spoken throughout the city. The inherent nature of Toronto's multiculturalism is reflected in its wonderful mosaic of distinctive neighborhoods. Visitors and residents alike explore the colorful Victorian houses - some housing Toronto's best vintage clothing stores - of Kensington Market, the open-air food stalls, shops, fruit markets and authentic cuisines of Chinatown, the top-of-the-line Italian fashion shops and true caf駸 and restaurants of Corso Italia, and the wooden boardwalk, antique shops and clapboard cottages of The Beaches. Art lovers enjoy wandering through the Art Gallery of Ontario - the eighth-largest art museum in North America - the Trevor Allan Gallery and The Market Gallery while music enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival featuring more than 1,500 international and Canadian musicians at more than 40 different venues or the lavish Broadway-style musicals performed in the downtown Theatre District. Sports fans are sure to join the city's local avid fans in cheering on the Toronto Raptors (basketball), the Toronto Maple Leafs (hockey), the Toronto Lynx (soccer), the Toronto Blue Jays (baseball) and the Toronto Argonauts (football). More than 60% of the U.S. 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. |
