SGBS Environment & Activities
International learning experience with Canadian hospitality
The Learning Environment
We are dedicated to providing the best possible environment for learners to have an exceptional learning experience:
- SGBS lectures are conducted in classrooms located on our campus. These classrooms are the same ones used for our own MBA and Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) programs during the school year.
- The campus attracts students, staff and faculty from all backgrounds and walks of life. Since 1999, we have successfully welcomed students from outside Canada, creating a vibrant and welcoming learning environment.
- SGBS provides opportunities for students to fully interact with our dedicated program coordinators, volunteers and international students to create a personal, friendly and engaging learning environment.
- Students experience the personalized attention that our program is well-known for, and our coordinators will ensure they you are fully confident in the program, and know what to expect upon arrival. When the program begins, you can be assured that we will take the very best care of you. Students receive supervision, assistance, advice and friendship from our staff.
