Pathway Program Overview

Our Pathway Program is your springboard to colleges and universities in Canada and the US. Our program prepares students for post-secondary study and is customized to the needs of each individual learner. From the moment you book your course with us we offer you personalized and individual attention and provide you with a coordinator, all of which will ensure your success and provide you with the foundation and skills needed for a brighter future. Our partner institutions recognize our levels, eliminating the need for an entry exam such as IELTS, TOEIC or TOEFL*.

English Language Studies

Our Pathway Program teaches all the specific skills that post-secondary students should have at their disposal. Throughout your course you will practice note-taking, summarize lectures, build research and presentation techniques and develop academic familiarity. In addition to academic skills, our classes offer the perfect balance of all basic English skills from vocabulary and writing to speaking and reading. Our system is highly regarded, and upon successful

completion of our Pathway Program you will gain seamless entry to one of our 20 partner universities and colleges.

Post-Secondary Studies

Our partner institutions offer the flexibility of certificates and diplomas, in addition to undergraduate and post-graduate degrees, in a variety of academic fields. You will find the perfect campus to suit your preferences at one of our diverse partner institutions located across Canada and US.

Pathway Program Coordinator

We have a dedicated Pathway Coordinator on staff to help pathway students and their overseas advisors by providing necessary support through the enrolment process and helping students choose the right university or college. Once students start the program, the Coordinator meets with them regularly to check on progress and respond to concerns or questions and to provide updates. Your Pathway

Coordinator also acts as a liaison between students and our partner institutions, ensuring that you are well prepared for post-secondary studies at the end of your English course. With thorough knowledge of our partner institutions’ programs and requirements, our Pathway Coordinator ensures all details are taken care of and information is passed on accurately and efficiently.

Connected with Your Pathway Institution

We want to ensure that you become familiar with the programs and policies of your college or university. Your Pathway Coordinator will keep you feeling confident and in control by connecting you with your college or university from the onset of your English studies. This could include campus tours and presentations by visiting representatives.

Conditional Letter of Acceptance

You will receive a conditional letter of acceptance from the partner post-secondary institution of your choice upon registration in our Pathway Program.

Pathway Structure

In the Pre-Pathways levels, students are integrated into regular ESL classes where they will learn and practice the foundations of English. Focus will be placed on the development of skills in grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

In Pathway I, students will build on the foundations of English skills, and shift more towards developing the skills which are essential for university bound students.

In the final level – Pathway II students will shift towards English for Academic Purposes. They will work on refining the skills that they learned in the earlier levels; however, the focus will move to those skills that will be necessary for life as a university student. In Pathway II, students will attend workshops that focus on note-taking techniques, summarizing lectures and building and developing research and presentation techniques.
