Comments about courses

The centers curriculum is organized into 4-week sessions. For that reason, it is strongly recommend that students make every effort to begin their studies on a regular Start Date and study a minimum of four weeks. These start dates are as follows: 14.01, 11.02, 11.03, 08.04, 06.05, 03.06, 02.07, 29.07, 26.08, 23.09, 21.10, 18.11 and 16.12. That way they will receive a full orientation and complete the full 4-week session. However, this is not always possible, therefore the school will accept students for a minimum of two weeks, and they are able to begin their program on the second or third Monday (Except one block in July with start dates on Tuesdays) of a session.

There is a course material and technology charge of CAD 50 per session of study (4 weeks).

Medical insurance costs CAD 2 per week.

Unaccompanied minor fee will cost CAD 150 per child as well as a notarized Guardianship letter supplement of CAD 75 per child.
