"Beautiful encounters"

Maia Gagulic, student from France

First of all, I was staying at my uncle house so it wasn’t really complicated. The location of the school was pretty great, even though I had a really bad experience in Victoria, but I think it’s only because France and Canada are really different culturally.
But besides that, I met amazing people there at the GV, The teacher were amazing, Very nice, Here for us if we had a question…
Plus, Our first day was also pretty great, Because we were told everything that we had to know about how is life in GV or in Victoria.
More over it’s really great that every week, every day we had the opportunity to do some activities even though I did none of them.
I really would recommend to Study at GV, and to see Victoria because there is a lot to see, either the gardens or just the city
