English at First

In our program we work very hard to identify the needs of our students and to help them integrate into Canadian society. All teaching staff members are TESL certified and are comfortable using the Canadian Language Benchmarks. They have also participated in cross cultural sensitivity training.

We are a school which offers English Language Instruction to Newcomers to Canada (the LINC program). Our school started at this site in September of 1990. This is a program offered free of charge to our students which also provides high quality childcare free to those who need it. Transportation assistance is also available for those who qualify. The school is an incorporated registered charity formed for the purpose of assisting newcomers to Canada and is run by a Board of Directors. The Board is contracted and funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to provide Literacy to CLB 4 English instruction using the LINC program. Small grants have also been received periodically from The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation (www.kwcf.ca). All students must be assessed at the Language Assessment Centre: Language Assessment Centre 800 King St. W. (3rd Floor) Kitchener, ON Call (519) 579-9622 for an appointment
