High Academic Standards is a Hallmark of Education at MacLachlan

“I learned a lot at MacLachlan. The experience of living in a distant and different country and making new friends was very important to me. It was not difficult at all to find new friends at MacLachlan, as Canadians overall are very open minded, in particular the staff and students at Mac. My homestay family was incredible, they quickly made me feel like a part of their family and I’ve made great friends for life in them.”
- MacLachlan international alumnus.
