Victoria rarely gets snow!

Located in a sub-Mediterranean zone, Victorians enjoy some of the warmest weather in Canada. Victoria boasts an average of 2,183 hours of sunshine yearly, and an eight month frost free season. Ocean breezes keep summer days from getting too hot, but summer evenings can be cool; therefore a sweater or a light jacket is recommended. Although winters are mild and rarely include snow, warmer clothing is recommended between the months of November and March.

Stewart College is located in a 3.5-storey building with skylights and lots of big windows.  We have a lot of bright, comfortable space for hanging out, learning, and making friends!  Unlike many language schools, we do not share our space with other businesses; the only people in our school are students and staff!

The newly renovated media room is open to students from 8:30 – 5:00pm Monday to Friday.  There’s a big-screen TV with blu-ray, internet and TV for use in classes and during movie activities.  We also have computers for students to use for homework or keeping in touch with friends and family.
