Why Agents Choose CSLI Over Other Vancouver English Schools:
"I am currently working for a large corporation in Osaka, Japan. Last week, I visited your school in Vancouver with one of my Japanese students, who is interested in obtaining a Canadian working holiday visa for next year. Out of the 7 schools we visited in Vancouver, CSLI by far exceeded the others in terms of professionalism, course selection, extra curricular activities, student care and school atmosphere. Your staff was eager to answer any questions that my student or I had and made every attempt to make us feel welcome. I was particularly impressed with your English only rule; something that other language schools in Vancouver have tried to implement, but have failed to enforce. In addition, it was nice to see students from all cultures interacting outside of class time. In terms of staff, Rieko was extremely patient in dealing with my student. As a result, my student has her sights set on studying with you in the future."

Students in CSLI’s Business English Program, as well as all those attending our regular Conversational English Program, have had the special opportunity of guest speakers visiting from such business backgrounds as: buying and selling property (real estate), finance, book sales, employment services and dentistry.

CSLI Listens to Student Suggestions:
This month, CSLI’s hard working students expressed their dedication to their studies through the results of a survey done by the Business English class on duration of break-times between classes. The Directors instantly acknowledged the need to try shorter break-times and with the support of CSLI teaching staff, the last week of May, CSLI students will try this new schedule. At the end of the trial week, if the majority of students are still in favor, a change will be considered.
