Pathway Program

IT’S TIME TO LEARN!

By taking this program, you will meet the English language requirement for admittance into our Pathway Partner Universities or Colleges. You won’t need to take an official English language test like IELTS or TOEFL.

We offer both Online and In-Person Pathway Programs (English for Academic Purposes), and you can start your studies with us any Monday; this is called continuous intake. Classes are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 12:30 pm Atlantic Time. We also have an Evening Online Pathway Program from 7:30 pm to 11:00 pm Atlantic Time.

The Pathway Program lasts a minimum of 12 weeks, but the actual duration depends on your starting level. To start the Pathway Program, you need to have a current B1+ level (CLB 6) in all skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). You can start by taking our Online English test to see your current level (link here).

In our program, you’ll learn English, how to succeed in the Canadian Higher-Education system, and important 21st-century skills.

  • Continuous intake
    In person and online programs in the morning and evenings.
  • Lessons include new grammar and vocabulary (40-50%), speaking, listening, reading and writing skills (50-60%) developing interesting, personally relevant themes.
  • The week’s program is planned and explained by the class teacher and includes feedback and suggestions from students.
