KGIC ADVANTAGESA. Class LevelsAt KGIC, we have classes to suit all language levels from beginner to advanced. Regular and accurate testing is done in each class to ensure that you are in the appropriate level. When you have achieved a specific set of goals, you are moved up to the next class.

B. Flexible Level StructureKGIC also has a distinct level structure, unlike most ESL schools in Canada. It allows you to be in different levels at the same time according to your ability in each class. You are tested and evaluated separately for grammar, reading, writing, listening and communications and put in the appropriate class – from Foundations (Beginner) to Level 6 (Elite). Your class schedule is specifically customized to match your capability. For example, if you are stronger at speaking you will be in a higher Communications class; if your listening skills exceed your writing skills, you’ll be in a higher Listening class. You can focus on developing each of your skills according to your exact ability, instead of being in one class based on your overall ability.

C. Monthly Progress ReportsStudents receive a detailed monthly progress report for all their classes. These reports let the students keep track of their performance, including their strong and weak points.

D. KGIC Student RewardsThere are a variety of ways to earn great student rewards while studying at KGIC. Recogni-tion includes:

School-wide scholarshipsA range of contestsRewards given out to students who show exceptional participation and communicative habits

My time in Canada was very well spent. Canada quickly became a second home where I met many great people that I will never forget. Teachers at KGIC became like big brothers and sisters who not only taught me English but also were a huge influence in my development as a woman. I will leave this place with a sense of pride that I not only learned English, but crossed boarders; not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

The mix of business and tourism really appealed to me since I am so interested in working for the tourism industry. To be honest, I enjoyed GBE so much that it felt like leisure more than school!

I have just finished my first week at KGIC and living in Vancouver. It’s amazing how much I have learned not only from my teachers and in my classes, but from attending the cool after school activities. There are so many interesting options every week.

Let’s see…what did I do? At the beginning of the week I travelled to the top of Harbour Lookout, which is 430ft above Vancouver. The view was beautiful! I took a picture with my many new friends at the top. Can you believe that all seven people in the picture are from different countries?

ActivitiesAt KGIC we maintain a monthly calendar of extra-curricular activities. We believe in providing students with a well-rounded experience in Canada, and thus host a series of exciting outings designed to allow students to enjoy and experience their new surround-ings, while learning at the same time. Whether snowboarding in the Rockies, gazing upon Niagara Falls or surfing in Tofino, there is an activity for everyone!

ServicesVolunteer Program Surrey, B.C.Students will have the opportunity to practice their English in a professional environ-ment. Our volunteer companies are carefully selected using our screening process and these companies will provide full training for each student. KGIC students will have the chance to use practical English skills in a real life business setting.

Student CounsellingWhile at KGIC, students who have questions about their classes are welcome to bringthem to the Student Affairs Officer or Student Advisors who can be found at each campus. These are staff members who are able to support students with any concerns about class levels, curriculum, teachers or other academic related issues. KGIC also provides students with opportunities to meet with counsellors for assistance with visa extensions, transfers to other campuses or programs, homestay issues and general questions about life in Canada. While counselling is done primarily in English, various countries are represented should the need arise for consultation in one’s native language.
