What is the ELC?
Imagine a place where students from all over the world study English, learn about other cultures and enjoy living in one of Canada’s most beautiful cities. That’s life at the ELC!
The ELC is one of Canada’s most respected English language schools. We are a proud part of the University of Victoria and the Division of Continuing Studies.
English programs
As an ELC student you don’t have to choose between studying hard and having fun. We’ll help you do both! Our programs combine intensive classes with social activities so that you can learn and live in English.
Over 2,800 students choose our programs each year: let us show you why.
Living in Victoria
Victoria is a small city with a big heart. You’ll find the same shopping, restaurants and festivals that you might find in a large city, but it’s also safe, friendly and beautiful.
We feel very lucky to call this city our home… and so will you!
