The EC program provides a friendly environment in which students practice, improve and learn to enjoy their English.  Our teachers help facilitate an educational experience based on cross-cultural exchange and understanding.

After placement testing, students enter one of seven levels (Beginning 1, 2; Intermediate 1, 2; High Intermediate 1, 2; Advanced 1). Most students spend an average of three terms in one level.

EC classes are offered full-time (4hrs daily Monday to Friday) and part-time (4hrs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 2hrs Tuesday, Thursday). High Intermediate to Advanced classes are in the morning; Beginning to Intermediate classes are in the afternoon.

The regular curriculum at the Intermediate to Advanced level is divided into two sessions daily: Listening & Speaking, then Reading & Writing. Full-time students have a choice of a variety of electives during the second session on Tuesdays and Thursdays when part-time students leave.
