Language Courses for Youth Aged 9 to 17
Give your child the opportunity to learn a new language or perfect their language skills in a fun and stimulating environment with teachers who are devoted to your child’s learning.
Our online programs use a secure web platform and include several levels focused on language comprehension and oral and written communication. Our groups are open to 4 to 15 students, which is the perfect class size for effective learning and for making new friends to practise with. We offer French, English, Spanish, and Mandarin courses.
We also offer private online courses if you prefer a personalized learning experience.
