President's Message
I am pleased to be part of a non-profit organization that will make a difference for children and adults in our community. The founding objective of the Institute is to enrich the lives of students through the provision of a high quality of education in English as a Second Language (ESL), private and individualized tutoring, self-esteem training and many other programs and services. Our programs allow flexible delivery of instruction, individual attention and need fulfillment, in-depth coverage of study material and solid mastery of essential skills.
We promote a secure and relaxed learning atmosphere that encourages intellectual risk-taking and achieves a true emphasis on academic excellence and skills development. We provide more than 30 courses to prepare students for life, school, college and career. I am excited to have classes for seniors. I believe that they are vital to our society and have a wealth of knowledge that they can be shared with us.
After teaching and being in business for many years, I realized that we needed to provide affordable access to education for disadvantaged and everyone who wants to improve his/her learning. At Calgary International Learning Institute, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their learning.
