Testimonials Show
Before I took the Cambridge First Certificate Test, I signed up for the 3 month preparation course also at GV Calgary, where I'm so glad I studied. GV helped me to stay calm during the test, and I scored an excellent result, an A!, which will help me with future employment.

Corrinna Karl, Germany
Studying at GV was much more than I expected; the beautiful campus, the friendly students from countries such as Brazil, Switzerland, Korea and Mexico, and the teachers who gave me the opportunity to learn English in a variety of interesting ways like doing plays and presentations. Now I can say Calgary is my second hometown
