Our Toronto West location is on the prestigous campus of Hillfield Strathallan College in Hamilton offering modern facilities and the latest technology including Wifi. The campus has a gym, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, along with soccer and other playing fields.
The port city of Hamilton is just 45 minutes from Toronto and 45 minutes to Niagara Falls, making it an ideal location for students to experience the best these three cities have to offer.
Trips and activities
Students will stay in a quiet and safe environment yet experience activities, tourist visits in Toronto, Niagara Falls and the Hamilton area. Chartered buses are used on all trips. Our teachers accompany the students on all activities and trips. Students are supervised 24/7 at all times.
Transportation
From the residence to the classrooms, it is just a two minute walk. On all activities, that are not accessible by foot, they will take chartered buses.
Residence
Students will experience residence life at Mohawk College’s new, modern residence with each student having their own private bedroom (with double bed) in a shared two-bedroom suite. Each suite contains a small kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave, along with a private washroom with shower for the 2 occupants of the suite. The residence is equipped with a laundry room, games room, and even a small movie theatre! Students are provided with nutritious meals including breakfast, lunch & dinner. Click here for photos
Host Family Accommodation
Host family accommodation is a great way to learn about Canadian culture and to continue practicing English in the evening. Students are provided with a single private room and a comfortable home environment with three meals a day (packed lunch except on Sundays). All host families are carefully screened and referenced checked and must provide us with a police records check for the vulnerable sector.
