Heartland International English School is an international private English language school, which appeared on the territory of Canada in 1999. For 20 years of successful work on the territory of Heartland more than 6000 thousand students from different countries of the world (more than 75 in total) have received international English language education.

During this time, the institution has grown and developed, but the general view of the educational process has remained unchanged: the basis of quality language education is a professional staff of teachers and competently formed learning environment that helps the student to overcome possible barriers.

The school is accredited by Languages Canada and offers a variety of English language programs for international students, all of which fall under the ESL (English as a Second Language) category.

Heartland International English School in Canada has two campuses: one in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the other in Mississauga, Ontario.

Heartland is also an official testing center for CAEL, CELPIP and IELTS. Expert IELTS test preparation courses are available at both locations.

For housing while attending Heartland, students can choose to live with a host family, live in a dormitory, or search for housing on their own. Let's talk about each option:

• Host Family. This is a homestay with a real Canadian family that allows you to learn English in a natural setting. Host family accommodation helps international students to adapt to Canadian life and culture faster and better, to learn everything from the inside. Host families offer airport transfers, a private room, shared bathroom facilities, and full board meals (3 meals a day). All host families are carefully selected by the school administration. They live close to the academic campuses, so it will not be difficult for the student to get there independently. 
• Residence. The phrase "student residence" speaks for itself - here the student will find himself among his peers and will get more independence. The cost of a residence includes renting a room and purchasing a meal plan. The school does not have its own residence, but students are housed at partner institutions such as Red River College Residence and William & Catherine Booth College (Winnipeg), University of Toronto Residence, Mississauga Campus. Regardless of the option chosen, clean, cozy rooms for 1-2 people, laundry facilities, lounges and a residence hall supervisor are available for accommodation. 
• Alternative Housing. Students may choose their housing option from apartment rentals to hotel accommodations. Contact school staff for information and assistance in arranging accommodations.
