Testimonials
"If someone asked me if I was prepared for Canadian high school before I took this program, I wouldn’t have any confidence to say, "Yes"."
"This program gave me creative instruction which shows what I should do and what I shouldn’t do in high school. It not only gave grounding in my English skills required for high school, it also gave me survival skills for my new circumstance."
"As a result of taking this program, I could overcome many challenges I’ve faced in my high school. It helped me to expect what would happen, so I didn’t "get lost" there."
"This great experience in FCLI made me strong and brave enough to get into the storm of Canadian high school."
