With a population of over 150,000, Kelowna is the largest city in the Okanagan Valley and the fastest growing in Canada. Kelowna is surrounded by picturesque Okanagan Lake and a visit would not be complete without trying to sight the legendary lake monster, the Ogopogo.

"I am delighted by my experience in Kélowna."
Murielle Berrouard,
學生表格 加拿大
(Translated by Google Translate)
I really liked the host family, the very good teachers and the friendly school staff. Everything was perfect!
The classes were in small groups in the winter season, I liked that. Just the half of the teachers are good, the other half they don’t know what are they doing. The location it’s really great, accesible and near to everything in downtown. They had few activities but each one were great. It’s a small school, so-so for ESL not for academic English.

Dear,
I would like to talk why my experience on International Gateway Kelowna wasn´t how I was waiting. I wanted to acquire more fluency, but I came back to Brazil disappointed. I don´t needed to have basics notions, as alphabet and vocabulary how animals names, etc. I would need to talk elementary phrases to quotidian. I liked to study with teens 16 years old, but I noted they levels was different, because the majority is from orient countries where the alphabet is very different. Well, I liked Gary and Carhie teachers and the staff too. All very, very professionals. I could needed to have more conversation, reading books, writing letters or texts. The method applied leave-me confused... I am a lawyer and I would need more challenge. Beyond reading books and writing texts, phrases by conversation in airport, in supermarket, in pharmacy, in stores, in street, etc. I´m sorry, and thank you.
