Soso~
I have been in St. Giles for 2 months and I'm very happy about my choice.
All the teachers I have had were really competent, funny and careful to all the students.
I had a lot of fun and I really improve my english in this school.
Recommendable!
I had a great experience at St. Giles. This school is small, friendly and the atmosphere is cosy. The teachers are efficient and try to help every students, anyway their level. It's easy to talk with every body because of the size of the school. There is a majority of swiss and asian people, and also some students from South America. I recommand St. Giles if you come in Vancouver, the situation in downtown is perfect.
