History

ILAC was founded by Jonathan Kolber, Bernardo Riveros and Ilan Cohen in 1997. The three friends came together to create a different type of language school, one that places emphasis on students and services – everything from classroom size to social activities. Their goal was to provide an experience of a lifetime for international students studying and living in Canada. ILAC quickly differentiated themselves from other language schools by placing emphasis on their students – everything from classroom size to social activities for students. Their goal was to provide a memorable, lasting experience for students.
