“I chose to study at GV Calgary primarily because it is one of the accredited institutions for conducting the IELTS test and for its diverse mix of people and cultures. Another reason for my choice was its excellent location downtown, right in front of the C-train station,
and the competitive cost of studies. In the classroom, we have incredible teachers and very interactive lessons. Some instructors focus on grammar for exams, while others emphasize speaking.
You can state your goals, and they will assist you accordingly. Studying at GV has allowed me to make friends from various countries, immerse myself in the English language, and undergo personal development that I wouldn’t have experienced elsewhere.”
– Fabricio, Brazil
