ince 1998, The International House Net-Pacific Group has been offering unique educational and fun programs for young learners. These programs are affiliated and held to the standards of International House World, an organization that insists on the highest degree of educational excellence.

We ensure the quality of our classes with teachers who are qualified in both language instruction and working with children and juniors. We operate a variety of different programs, so we can provide the best choices to fit most any need.

s International House Vancouver operates three separate programs: the Vancouver Junior Program in both winter and summer; the Children’s Adventure Program in summer; and the residential Junior Program at the campus of the University of British Columbia in summer.

International House San Diego operates two separate programs: the summer and winter Junior Programs with homestay accommodation; and the Junior Program SDSU, a summer residential program held on the campus of San Diego State University.

All of the Young Learner programs offered by International House Vancouver/SanDiego provide students the opportunity to learn English in a natural and immersive setting. With a focus on communicative and student-centred classes, we ensure students have plenty of opportunity to practice the language.

The integrated activity programs are designed to offer both educational and fun opportunities for the students to get the most out of their trip. Excursions to beaches and the mountains are combined with visits to museums and historical sights, along with lots of fun games where students can make friends to last a lifetime.

International House Vancouver and San Diego are members of the International House World Organization, an educational trust founded in 1953 by John and Brita Haycraft. Their aim was to raise the standards of language teaching world-wide and this aim has remained central to the organization ever since.

Activities for each location can include: Vancouver: Stanley Park-Cycling, Granville Island, Kitsilano Beach, Fort Langley, Museum of Anthropology, English Bay, Metrotown, Science World, Vancouver Aquarium, Playland, Harbour Centre, Queen Elizabeth Park, Ice Skating, Splashdown Waterpark, Whistler, Jericho Beach
