About the School
LCI Vancouver Language School has moved to a wonderful new campus. The new campus is a 7-story building, shared with LaSalle College Vancouver. With an entire floor on the 3rd floor to itself, the school can now welcome more students in a more comfortable and spacious environment! In particular, the new building has patios on the 3rd and 7th floors, and the 3rd-floor patio is for the exclusive use of LCI students. You will be able to relax and enjoy the cool breeze at the new campus! As before, the school is located within a university campus, but with more space and facilities, there will be even more natural interaction with LaSalle College Vancouver students. LAB-Vancouver (formerly CSLI) was founded in 1992. To date, more than 10,000 students from over 80 countries have successfully studied English at LAB-Vancouver. Because it offers a family-like environment that supports learning and puts students at ease, "you can feel the warmth of a second home." LAB Vancouver is a unique language school. Your classes are held in a 90,000-square-foot building, and LAB Vancouver is located inside LaSalle College Vancouver and a high school. Just a step away from Renfrew Station, the LAB Vancouver campus offers true immersion in the Vancouver area. LAB-Vancouver provides customized one-on-one guidance through small classes and a professional teaching approach, so students can achieve the results they want in a short time. To offer each student the class that suits them among 8 levels, a rigorous level test is given before the first class. So that students can experience Canada, only Canadian textbooks are used, and teachers are carefully selected from graduates of prestigious Canadian universities. Through the school's various social activities, you will also have the opportunity to share life with Canadians. The school's conversation-focused curriculum can quickly improve students' listening and speaking skills. LAB-Vancouver helps with everything students need. In addition to English instruction, it offers a wide range of services, including internship services, structured activities, counseling, homestay and apartment arrangement, information on weekend and evening special events, various visa issuance and extension services, job placement, and even immigration. Another point of pride for the school is the 'Friday Activity.' You can choose what you like from more than 100 professional programs and events, and since the cost is included in the tuition, there is no need to pay separately. New programs are prepared every week so that students can have a variety of experiences. LAB-Vancouver does its best to raise students' English skills to the level they want and to give them experiences they will remember for a long time.
