Intensive Course:
Our Intensive program ( English or French) is taught from 10:00 to 15:00, Monday to Friday. The morning session focuses on grammar and written & reading comprehension, whereas in the afternoon the emphasis is rather put on oral skills. There is a conversation class between 15:00 and 16:00 every day from Monday to Friday, and this class is offered free of charge for all students enrolled in the Intensive program - a special offer from the finest language school in Canada! You will have the same teacher for both morning and afternoon classes throughout the 4 (or 5)-week term, while teachers take turns for the conversation class. There are 6 levels in the Intensive program, and unless you are a complete beginner you will be given a placement test (both written and oral) at 9:00 on the first day of your course. Please note that new sessions are scheduled to begin on the first Monday of each month. One extra week for the Intensive program costs $200 CAD.
Evening Course:
Evening course is especially designed for those who work during the day. This course is given 6 hours per week, 2 hours per day (Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 18:00 to 20:00). Three levels of language proficiency offer places from the beginner to the advanced student. Classes are small enough to ensure personal attention, yet big enough to be dynamic and fun.
Private Course:
Registrations for private courses are open throughout the year, and the deadline is about two weeks before the date from which you wish to start your course. Private courses can be tailored according to your specific needs, and the schedule is very flexible.
Highlights:
