For language learners interested in French immersion, we also offer 5-week spring and summer French immersion programs for adults through the federally-funded Explore Program. Explore has both online and in person options. A tuition bursary is available for students with Canadian citizenship or permanent residency.

However, the most important element in the success of this course of instruction was Giuliano’s leadership. He is an excellent teacher providing lively lessons full of insightful commentary along with constant encouragement, endless patience and engaging humour."
