"And The Oscar Goes To...."Oscar Awards
In celebration of the Hollywood Oscar awards this month, CSLI awarded the hardest working students in each class special Oscar awards. The students in turn surprised the teachers by awarding them Oscar awards for their hard work in such categories as "Leading Actor", "Visual Effects", and "Best Directors". Our Oscar graduation had a Las Vegas theme with students playing casino games like black jack and craps, for great prizes such as Grizzlies Basketball tickets (floor seats!), telephone cards, ski passes, movie passes & excellent Canadian souvenirs to take back home! For April's graduation, CSLI students will have a chance to enjoy Vancouver's great weather with a view... from the water. Celebrations will take place on a boat cruising around English Bay and False Creek.

Spain Takes home the Oscar for "Best Student":Student Of The Month
March's Student of the Month for the entire school was Juan Carlos Durand of Madrid, Spain. He has been a great student leader in class, a host student, and organizer of regular events including NBA basketball games and a Spanish dinner night . He also made all nationalities feel at home in our CSLI family. We thank his agent for sending us such a great student! We hope that Juan Carlos and his family enjoyed the basketball tickets he was given as part of his award. Naturally, we will see him in 2002, with his return flight to Vancouver and a 1 month scholarship, all part of our monthly student of the month award. See you then, Juan Carlos!

CSLI Celebrates Easter:Easter Lunch
Easter is an important occasion for many of our students. All of CSLI's students were treated to a full free Easter lunch along with all the staff before the Easter weekend, compliments of the directors of CSLI. Included in our fun celebrations for Easter, students participated in an chocolate Easter egg hunt and painting Easter eggs.

CSLI Classes and Free Friday Activities Continue Despite Strike:
Because CSLI is conveniently located near the Skytrain and Blue Bus routes, Classes have continued undisturbed by the recent transit strike. Vancouver's mild spring weather allowed the students to enjoy activities such as: hiking, playing tennis and basketball, horse back riding, and golfing. Academic options were offered in: grammar, idioms, vocabulary, and a special class for romance English. CSLI students learned to paint Easter eggs, make chocolate, play guitar, salsa dance and paint t-shirts. Excursions around Vancouver included: tour of Chinatown, Lighthouse Park, chocolate factory, a traditional British pub, Bowen Island, and White Rock... what other school offers all of these for free?

Agents Fly in From Japan!Agents Fly From Japan
Many thanks to Tourism Vancouver for assisting CSLI by coordinating a wonderful group of agents visiting Vancouver all the way from Japan. In their exclusive tour of Vancouver they selected CSLI as one of two schools to call on. They enjoyed our beautiful new campus and got to see the future site of the CSLI on-site student residence, due to open this fall. Special interest was expressed in our newly designed executive and seniors programs (starting this summer) as easy access and professional surroundings were considered as major benefits to their older clients.

Students Work and Study In Vancouver:
Our internship program is in full swing offering committed students excellent on the job experience at such places like the Investors Group, Core Group Consultants-Civil Engineering, Counterpoint Interiors and many others. For a more community based experience, CSLI students have also volunteered at events such as the Vancouver International Marathon, Taste of the Nation Food Festival, the Vancouver Sun Run, etc.
