The school takes pride in being able to offer small class sizes, which has the benefit of promoting better communication between teachers and all students.

These classes take place at the Yonge Street campus, on a weekly commitment of 20 hours per week. All participants are assigned to a group that most closely represents their current English level, but can later be changed depending on your progress and other factors. New students can start on practically any Monday of the year, so you’ll be able to jump in whenever you want.

This course consists of 20 general English lessons and 4 special focus lessons per week. The student can choose from the following options: speaking with confidence, real-life listening, expand your vocabulary, and global awareness.

Core Classes from Monday to Friday plus Special Focus Classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

Electives are only available from the second week.
