COURSE DESCRIPTION

CLLC is proud to partner with many leading institutions, in Canada and abroad, for our Pathway Programs. Together, our programs and our partners help ensure our students’ success after CLLC by facilitating their continued studies. Our dynamic list of educational partners includes High School programs, colleges, and a variety of undergraduate and graduate university options. Our pathway programs give international students experience with Canadian college and university curriculum style, an understanding of Professors’ expectations, and a chance to ask questions about college and university life in Canada. During the pathway program students prepare for college and university by completing a number of college and university level assignments. The class environment is similar to a college or university setting. Students do group presentations, have seminar style classes, complete research assignments, do in class writing, and much more. Our pathway program ensures students are well prepared for college and university life in Canada. This academic based program focuses on time management, note-taking, exam preparation, academic presentations, and essay writing. Students who complete the UPP at any of our campuses can continue onto one of our partner universities or colleges without writing an English language proficiency exam. Students in either Pathway Program 1 or 2 study 25 hours per week (33 lessons a week).
