International English Program In Canada!

       After two wonderful years of teaching in Yeosu, South Korea we got to thinking how fantastic it would be to invite Korean students to learn English in an English speaking country. And hey, what better place than beautiful Canada!

Having just arrived home from an incredible three month journey through North, South and East Africa, including a month long teaching experience on the Ssese Islands in Uganda, we are pleased to see the English program coming to life with each passing day and can't wait to get back to teaching again!


When it was time to go we put together a special event day. The water balloon toss!
 Always a favourite.




 This grade three class was full of bounce and smiles every single minute of every day. What an inspiring bunch!


Teaching the little ones using our very own state of the art handcrafted flashcards. It is impossible to take a photo without them knowing it.




 Following an intense football match, you see here, the brave winners.


After months of planning this exciting new program we are now but a few weeks away from welcoming our first group of nine students! We are eagerly anticipating their arrival on December 29th!
