CLLC

Understanding languages and cultures helps resolve the fear and uncertainty that characterizes many human conflicts on our planet. In addition, those who work in international language education maintain a professional optimism and insight around globalization and, therefore, the prospects for peace and unity.

Student Well-Being

At CLLC, nothing is more important than a student’s well-being. Leaving home is exciting, but there are also many challenges. It’s not easy being away from home, speaking a new language, living in a different culture and trying to make new friends. CLLC’s staff knows what this feels like, as most of them have had this experience.

CLLC staff understand there’s a lot to learn; the culture, food, the health care system, living arrangements, transit details, and the list goes on and on. That’s why CLLC’s team guides students through their home away from home.

We start by providing a detailed orientation that teaches all about Canadian culture and will answer all questions about life in a new country. All campus teams have an “open door” policy. This means they’re always available if students need them. We guarantee their approachability from the first moment through the doors.

Finally, each campus creates a family feeling by recognizing outstanding students, celebrating birthdays, having potlucks, sending flowers to students who are sick, and inviting alumni to school activities. We hope everyone is proud to attend CLLC. We belong to something greater than a school. We belong to a family.
