The school welcomes enrolment on a continuous basis and offers flexible classroom schedules.Our students learn study skills, conversation skills and the mechanics of speaking, writing and reading English, but they also leave with a greater knowledge of Canadian culture and customs. By learning the practical uses of the language for everyday life, CCI-LEX students learn the skills they need to lead successful lives in Canada. By taking special ESL and academic-level courses, students are supported to achieve their career and educational goals.The atmosphere is friendly and engaging, but studious too. Teachers offer plenty of individual attention and make a point to learn everyone’s name. What sets us apart?
