IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to assess the language ability of students who need to study or work where English is the medium of communication. IELTS scores are accepted for enrollment at most colleges and universities across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. The IELTS test is made up of four components: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

We offer intensive IELTS courses in small classes by experienced and qualified instructors.

Community Involvement

Community involvement activities are part of the school’s program. Students must complete a minimum of 40 hours of community service as part of the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The purpose of the community involvement requirement is to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility and of the role they can play and the contributions they can make in supporting and strengthening their communities. Our local partnerships provide opportunities for students to earn community service hours in order to foster their sense of community, as well as social and global awareness
