Studying in Langley means living in an English speaking, Family-Focused city. International students are fully immersed in the English language; thus, they quickly adapt to the international language of the world. With more than 95% of our 200, 000 residents speaking English as their native language, international students have unlimited opportunities to improve their English while being immersed in Canadian culture. Students can also enjoy all that the Greater Vancouver area has to offer with their homestay family or on school field trips.
