![]() When I was choosing a school for my English exchange in Canada from Brazil, I sent emails to many schools, including Geos. I remember Geos was the first to answer me - quite quickly -, so I thought it would be the perfect school for me, because if I needed any help in Canada, I'd receive it from Geos. I was totally right. In Geos Ottawa, I found the perfect place to improve my English skills. I've been assisted any time I needed. I've also made friends for the rest of my life, because we can find space to share experiences and cultures during the classes, the lunch time and the extra activities. The teachers in Geos Ottawa are the best in the world, I'm sure of that, and the school staff is always worried about the welfare of their foreigner students. That's why I could feel home during my stay in Ottawa. The school also provides us the best host family according to our wishes and personality, and I'll be always thankful to Geos to have chosen my host parents. Ottawa will always be my home thank to Geos. Thank you, Niall, Janaya, Sara, teacher Annie, teacher Justin...all the staff! And thank you, my classmates, to teach me so much about different cultures. I could learn we are all the same after all, at the same time I was improving my English skills fantastically. Mariana Argenta Losekann Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
