English as an Additional Language

Overview

• Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) program is designed to meet the needs of both new Canadians (immigrants and refugees) and students in the International Student Program.
• Experienced teachers provide instruction for all age levels with a focus on listening, speaking, reading and writing.
• Classes are offered at all our schools. 
• We assess each student individually in order to determine what instruction or other support is needed.

Benefits:

• Students receive support in adapting to a different curriculum, school environment and Canadian culture.
• Students receive assistance in a school that is close to their homes.
• Additional support is available for students with special learning needs.
