Institutional Philosophy

The primary goal of Vancouver English Centre is to provide programs and services that fulfill the needs of our English language students.

English Immersion

We do everything possible to maintain an environment that supports our classroom instruction. Consequently, our English Only policy is a fundamental aspect of the school philosophy. We ask students to use only English, in and out of class.

We encourage all students to live in our homestays while studying at Vancouver English Centre. Local host families complete the English language immersion experience by providing safe, friendly homes where students learn about Canadian culture.

Educational Value

Students do not have unlimited time or resources. Consequently, we strive to offer an environment that allows our students to study as intensively and efficiently as possible. Our courses, schedules and fees are all carefully managed to benefit our students as much as possible.
