Excel
Career College
is proud to be different than most ESLschools
you have read about. At Excel we don’t believe that our
International students learn only in the classroom. Instead we
provide every possible learning environment including ecological
and recreational field trips. Our mandate is take what is learned
in the classroom through written and oral communication and practice
it in a fun and educational environment, preferably a Canadian
cultural activity. We know we are not only on a unique educational
path but a successful one as our students tell us so. We hear
time and time again from international guests that they can’t
believe how much they learn and how much fun they had throughout
the program. Besides student enjoyment and success, we believe
that individualizing programs and classes increases not only student
satisfaction but also maximizes the window of opportunity for
learning.

"I
sometimes remember the time I spent in Courtenay. Now, having
met many wonderful people and having had precious experiments
in Courtenay are my treasure. Especially, it was the most important
for me to meet you Pauline Stevenson (President). You always cheered
me up. You introduced many people to me, “Networking”.
Thanks to you, I could also go to Horne Lake. I appreciate you"

valued and essential resource to non-profit organizations. Students
