Our Youth Programs are the ideal way for students to spend their vacation, experiencing a new culture and developing their English skills while having a lot of fun with students from other countries.
These special program are run during July, August and January, and take place in Vancouver, where students live in homestay accommodation with Canadian families or UBC dormitory.
The Junior Program 2008UBC Campus is intended for students ages 10 to 14. During the mornings of Monday to Friday the Students study English in a classroom setting. The classes are motivating and active; students acquire vocabulary and grammar through projects and fun activities. By working together in small groups to achieve a task students are forced to communicate clearly with each other.
The afternoons are occupied with out of school activities in which students can practice their English skills in real situations and at the same time have fun and gain new experiences. Each week students embark on a wide variety of activities ranging from a visit to Science World to rock climbing to riding the gondola up Grouse Mountain.

Student Testmonial
This summer, I spent my time in Canada. BCC was where I made many wonderful memories. I think if all the happy time with my classmates and teachers. We went and visited many interesting places together after school.
I particularly liked the discussions I had with the teachers about baseball, especially the Taiwanese baseball King, Chien Ming Wang. I miss BCC and want to come back again soon.
