Toronto is one of the most multicultural hubs in the world. Today we visited the well curated Royal Ontario Museum. It has artifacts from all over the world and dinosaurs!
Our students took in all the museum had to offer and learned a few new things as well.
Today we are off to visit the most iconic attraction in Toronto. The CN Tower which is the tallest structure in North America.
It offers stunning views of the city, it is not to be missed. The highlight is the glass floor for those brave enough to try it out.
Canada’s Wonderland is one of the most popular attractions with our students. It is always a fun day filled with fun, thrills and laughter.
Roller coasters, funnel cakes and memories to last a life time.

Everyone in the city waits anxiously for the start of summer. Here at Quest our summer starts with the arrival of our summer students from all over the world.
Their energy and youth breathe new life into the school and bring a fun atmosphere to the learning environment.
Over the next few weeks they will improve their English skills while taking in all Toronto has to offer.
Let’s get started 🙂
There is a lot that goes on beyond the grammar and vocabulary lessons in the classroom. As can be seen in Daphne’s and Anne’s advanced and high intermediate classes, student got the chance to explore Canadian culinary culture- by sampling types of peanut butter and exploring some of Toronto’s most quirky, colourful and sub-culture neighbourhoods.
Caribana is the annual Caribbean carnival that takes place every year in Toronto and it is HUGE. Music, dancing, food, costumes. The outfits are excessive and beyond fabulous. Lots of effort and passion goes into the parade every year so it was a unique experience to see for the students who got the chance to go. As for the rest of the group, they went to Wonderland, the amusement/ water park!
Taking a glimpse into the high-advanced classroom, students are doing the leadership portion of the summer program. The goal is to learn about leadership, self esteem, positive self talk and goal setting.
Meanwhile, recently arrived students took a day trip to the Toronto zoo, the largest zoo in Canada, home to over 5, 000 animals! It was lots of walking, lots of watching and lots of learning. IT was an exciting time to go as the baby panda (born at the zoo) was able to be seen.
Today the large group from Brazil boarded their planes and headed home. Those who had not done so yet, did one last tour of UofT- hopefully convincing them to come back in the near future! It was yet another bittersweet goodbye.
Big feasts for big farewells! A large groups of Brazilian students, as well as many from Spain are heading off at the end of the week, so we had one last celebration at Medieval Times, throwing it back to the days of horse games, sword fights and eating with our hands. It was definitely a unique experience!
