School Introduction We are an ESL school located in safe and beautiful downtown Victoria, British Columbia Canada. Our school has been providing quality ESL to international students since 1992. Our staff is caring and committed to assisting students to learn and enhance their English abilities.
In addition to our highly effective curriculum, our school prides itself in its weekly and yearly traditions. Every Thursday we have Pub Night where of age students (19 year and older) gather at a local pub to enjoy free beer compliments of the school. Every Friday we have a free lunch program where a hot lunch is provided for the students. For the nature enthusiasts, Victoria is located in the centre of world renown trails such as the Juan de Fuca and West Coast trail. Every year our school embarks on a 4 day expedition with interested students on the Juan de Fuca trail. We also have a yearly trip to the Okanagan and occasional ski trips to Mt. Washington.
ESL Program Introduction
We have a highly innovative curriculum designed by our director Carlos Serra. This includes our listening program using native speech through the daily CBC morning news and a unique ‘blueprinting’ system which enhances students’ writing skills. The morning consists of reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar. For the afternoon classes, there is a choice of speaking, Business English, TOEFL and TOEIC preparation. We also provide a range of programs, ranging from ISCP (a summer camp for children including activities with Canadian children), HIPP (High School Preparation Program) and customizable programs with lessons and activities. Our small class sizes are 4 students on average, with a maximum of 10, allowing for optimal learning possibilities.
