School and Daily Life English in Canada for Ages 11–12

Level 1 — Beginner

​

What Will We Learn in This Program?

We support 11–12-year-old students who are new to English in establishing basic communication at school, in friendships, and in daily life. In the first 12 weeks, we cover age-appropriate topics using beginner-level English.
