With 3 million inhabitants, Montreal is the second largest Canadian city after Toronto. Situated in the province of Quebec, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal is both a major port and a financial centre. It's also a centre for the arts. The city is situated on an island, but there are bridges connecting all sides to the mainland, which reinforces the impression of not being an island at all. Two thirds of the population are French, making it the largest French speaking city outside Paris.
French culture prevails giving the city a European tinge.
There are many French restaurants and nightlife is great. Old Montreal, the oldest section of the city, is definitively worth a visit. Narrow, streets with small restaurants, squares and churches are scattered all over the place and the waterfront is always near. The city also has an excellent metro system, which makes it easy to go wherever you want to go by public transport. The school was founded in 1962 and offers the possibility to study both French and English.
