School description

Pera College is a small family type ESL and test preparation school. We offer part-time morning, afternoon and weekend or evening classes. We also offer full-time programs. Our school is located in the heart of North Vancouver business area and is close to many homestay families. You may sometimes even walk to school! We are very close to West Vancouver ( 5 minutes) and downtown ( 20 minutes). We are also in the heart of many great tourist attractions of Canada: It takes only 5 minutes to get to Stanley Park, 10 minutes to Suspension Bridge, and 30 minutes to Grouse Mountain!

Our classes are very small; sometimes you may even get a one-on-one class for the price of a regular class!

Our teachers are professional TESL certified instructors with a Master's degree in TESL.
