Contact: Helen Green

What made you join QE?
I was looking for an organisation/brand that would help promote like-minded independent schools.
Why would you recommend QE from what you know so far?
QE has represented our school to agents in countries we have not been present. After the missions we receive useful reports on the missions and the meetings that have taken place.
What are the main reasons to recommend SACLI to a foreign student wishing to learn English?
SACLI students are fully immersed in English at the school as well as outside the classroom. (93% of the people in the city speak English as their first language). If students want to learn English quickly - Charlottetown is the perfect place. Homestay families also provide transportation to and from school daily
Study Abroad Canada Language Institute is a great place to learn English. Here you will find people from different parts of the world. The teachers and staff are great people. They are willing to help you with everything you need! I had moments here that I'll never forget. I learned English and about other cultures. -Jaqueline Zarpelon, Brazil

Quality English visits another school for 'Quality control'
|
|
|
Particularly striking was the new Kamiya Courtyard which provides four classrooms for group courses and a delightful courtyard area outside.
The point of these quality control visits is to review the school's references and its own quality control mechanisms such as their feedback systems. What agents tell us is vitally important.
