About GEOS Montreal Language School

Manager's Message 

Warm greetings from GEOS Montreal! On behalf of all the staff and students, I am very proud to welcome you to our city and to our school.
 
Montreal is a great city to learn English, French, or even both languages at one time. The city is famous for its European culture, its architecture, natural beauty and international festivals. Canada’s second largest city, Montreal is devoted to fun and pleasure, and its central location in North America, close to many other North American centers, makes it an ideal place for a “language, culture, adventure” experience.
 
Like the international and cosmopolitan city it calls home, GEOS Montreal is also a mixture of students and staff from all over the world. With no nationality making up more than 20% of the full-time student population, you are sure to meet new friends from all over the world.
 
As a certified member of CAPLS and the CLC, and a member of GEOS North America and the GEOS International group of schools, we are registered with the Federal Government of Canada, and the Government of Quebec, and our teaching methodology and standards are top-notch.
 
Our administrative staff and teachers are motivated by the idea of offering excellent service, from the moment we first hear from you, to your choice of courses, accommodation options, visa questions, trip preparations, airport pickup, first day of school, counseling sessions, course evaluations, graduation ceremony, and finally to your departure from our beautiful city. Your education, satisfaction and happiness are our reason for being.
 
Come learn English or French with us, experience Canadian and Quebecois culture, and live an adventure in one of the world’s great cities. You are very welcome.
