Notes:
The learning sessions differ in the type of interactions they provide. The morning sessions are a more teacher-oriented period where information about Canada's language and customs is directed from the teacher to the student.
The afternoon classroom session, although closely supervised by the teacher, is more informal and is structured in such a way as to allow the student to put into practice the knowledge learned in the morning sessions.
Testing
After arrival, each student is interviewed to ensure that they are placed in a class that provides them with the best opportunity for them to learn English.
Our classes have a 15:1 student/teacher ratio. We also make an effort to ensure that all students are grouped with children who are close to the same age and who have a similar level of English. This plan provides the greatest opportunity for your child to learn English.
 In the final week of classes each student is once again tested and a progress of their learning is recorded. The results of the formal test are shared with the student and then forwarded to the respective tour agencies.
Graduation
Toward the end of the program all students attend a formal graduation ceremony. They are awarded a certificate for their participation from the Director of the camp and their classroom teacher. |
