Core components of the Bridge Program: • Extensive English and Language Arts • A strong focus on the communication skills needed for Math, Science, Social Studies, Information Technology, Fine Arts and other non-academic subjects • Extra-curricular activities that enhance social and personal development • Follows the BC curriculum as determined by the Ministry of Education Schooling in Canada: Most elementary and secondary schools in Canada have a limit to the number of international students that they can accept each year and starting dates are either September or February. The Bridge Program allows students to maintain their academic pace and gives them an advantage over students who may not have attended any readiness programs. We also have a referral system in place for graduates of our program – many go on to attend local Vancouver and Toronto area schools. Some of our international students are here for the cultural experience and to learn more English, with no plans to enroll in a Canadian school. These students also benefit from the rich learning environment and take home many new skills and strategies that will be useful on their own educational path. © Zoni Language Centers 55 Combination Course Co-op Study Work and Professional Internship Programs: This English program offers a great opportunity for students desiring to obtain a competitive edge in today’s global marketplace.
