About this Programme
Global English Classes
Daily Schedule: 15 hours per week
English Proficiency: All levels accepted
Morning English classes offer a student-centred, progressive approach to language acquisition. Using modern language-teaching techniques, our highly qualified and experienced English teachers focus on improving communication skills and building confidence in self-expression, while challenging students to expand their vocabulary and improve their knowledge of how the language works.
Future-Ready Skills Workshops
Two afternoons per week, students participate in workshops designed to enhance the language learning experience while focusing on developing “Future-Ready” skills that are considered essential for success in today’s ever-changing workplace.
Workshops also offer an opportunity to practice your English with local Canadian high school students (“ambassadors”). Together, you will work on interactive and engaging activity-based challenges designed to push you to think in new ways, learn new approaches to problem-solving, and work as a team to achieve your goals.

Comfortable University Residence accommodation
You will share a double room in the University residence with another student attending the programme. Students are separated by gender. There are two beds in each room, along with desks, chairs, drawers for storage, and a wardrobe. You will receive clean linens and a bath towel, but you should bring your own beach towel and toiletries. Each residence floor has full toilet and shower facilities, which are cleaned daily. Common lounges are also located on each floor and feature a small kitchenette, sofas, and a TV. Safety is our number one priority so staff live on the same floor of the residence, providing full supervision.
We provide you with three meals daily. Breakfast and dinner are provided in the cafeteria next to the residence, which features a wide choice of main courses. Lunch is taken in the bright, spacious cafeteria on the main campus. All meals served on-site are cooked by professional staff and meet rigid nutritious standards. Some meals may also be taken while on an excursion and could be either in the form of a boxed lunch or served in a restaurant.
