The English Classes

Our English program is composed of 20 classes (50 minutes each) of language instruction per week. All our teachers are certified to teach English in the USA. Our maximum class size of regular classes is 15 students, while the average is between 10-12 students per class. There are 5 different levels of English classes in our program from beginner to advanced.

All students are required to enter a test the first Monday of their stay with us. The test is both written and spoken. When assigning students to their level we take into consideration three main criteria: English proficiency, nationality and age.

The program consists of four classes per day from Monday to Friday. The first three regular classes focus on grammar, listening/speaking and reading/writing. The fourth class is an elective class that focuses more on the practical side of the language. The Elective classes offered at the program are TOEFL, Journalism, Drama and Canadian Life Skills.

TOEFL

Appropriate for students with a higher English level who are looking to enroll in an English speaking university or college in the future.

Journalism

Students will learn the basics of writing newspaper/magazine articles. The Journalism students will work together to create a weekly newsletter that is distributed to students, parents and agencies with schedules, stories from students, etc.

Drama

Students will work together on different arts, such as drama, visual arts, dance, etc. The goal for the Arts and Drama class is to put together a piece of art and present it to the other students. This is a great opportunity for those who like to be creative.

American Life Skills

This is an extension of our Health and Sports class. This class will teach students the basics of how to keep your body healthy as well as practicing sports, but it will also teach students of this age group necessary life skills such as doing research, opening a bank account, using public transportation and other things that a student may face when first coming to a foreign country to study.
