The abroad study program is designed for international students from all over the globe who want to improve their English writing skills while living in their home countries.

It is a 3 years intensive program designed to equip international students with the English writing skills required to successfully complete university degrees in Canada, America, and Britain. The program is skill based so students must make a commitment to taking lectures, tutorials, and completing vocabulary, grammar and writing assignments. Students in grades 8-12 who have completed a mid-intermediate English level are able to enroll after passing an assessment examination.

These classes include both one-hour lectures given by the instructor followed by one-hour tutorials given by a teaching assistant. Each lecture has space for 12 students who are then divided into 3 tutorials of 4 students each. The tutorials focus on each student’s written work and offer strategies for improvement.

2. Year two: Grade 11 Reading and Writing
