Vancouver (Kitsilano) · Burnaby (Metrotown) · July 6 – August 21 · Ages 7–15
For children 7–9 who are beginning or building their English. Every week uses a real-world theme — nature, stories, community, culture — to make language learning feel like play. Your child will make things, go places, and use English all day without it ever feeling like a lesson.
