Goals of the program

The FLY Toronto residential summer program offers a secure, enjoyable and family-like environment to students aged 13-17 (junior program) and 18 and over (adult program), so they can develop and achieve:
- Linguistic and communicative skills in English
- Cultural knowledge of Canada
- Openness towards other nationalities, cultures and religions.

A typical day is divided into a morning language session and a scheduled afternoon excursion or activity. Afternoon on or near campus activities may include going to the Athletic Centre, visiting a unique Toronto neighbourhood, going to the Internet café and/or shopping.


English instruction

Students will receive 20 hours of English lessons and activities per week. English as a second or foreign language classes are offered at different levels. Upon arrival, students will be placed in an appropriate language level based on an oral and written placement test.

Instruction is student centered and based on the communicative approach with the aid of state-of-the-art materials and equipment.  Our teachers are native speakers of English and have formal training in second language teaching.  At the beginner level, emphasis is given to oral comprehension and expression, whereas, at the intermediate and advanced levels, emphasis is given to reading, writing and oral communication. The inclusion of socio-cultural activities is also an integral part of the curriculum. FLY students will attend classes in the wonderful Trinity College classrooms.
