Studying at Kaplan International Languages has been an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed by the amazing staff. Everyone is incredibly kind, supportive, and always willing to help — whether it’s with academics, adjusting to life in a new country, or just making you feel at home.

The quality of the classes is outstanding. The teachers are professional, passionate, and truly dedicated to helping students improve their language skills. Lessons are interactive, engaging, and adapted to our learning needs, which makes the whole experience both effective and enjoyable.

I’m truly grateful for my time at Kaplan. The school provides not only excellent education but also a warm and friendly environment that makes learning so much more meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their English while being part of a wonderful community!

I took my IELTS exam at Kaplan today and had an excellent experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and very cooperative. The exam environment was quiet, clean, and well-organized, which made me feel relaxed and confident.

Having had friends from other language schools in Vancouver, whom I met through activities organized by West Trek, the tour guide, I highly recommend Kaplan for its diversity of students from all over the world, including Asia, Europe, and beyond. The school offers a wide range of activities to encourage interaction between students. Their Instagram perfectly reflects the school’s image, with all the relevant information.

My only recommendation would be to choose the Viva Tower or King Edward residences. Having stayed with a host family and having had friends in the residences, I can say that the atmosphere in the residences is much better, especially for making friends quickly. It’s the best way, and they are located close to the school and downtown. Kaplan's staff have a youthful spirit, which creates a real sense of closeness with them.

In conclusion, my three months at Kaplan were extraordinary, an experience I highly recommend.

Thank you for everything, Kaplan!

Nice english school located in the heart of Vancouver city. I spent 8 weeks there learning english. But the school offers also many social activities that make your stay more enjoyable and unforgettable. You can easily socialise and meet other students. That's the best part of my experience. Learn English at school only, it doesn't make sense... you can enjoy classmates, apartment/house mates, friends... everything is soo easy here! Don't miss it!
