CALGARY, CANADA

Calgary's Hot Right Now!

Summer Stampede: What a summer we've been having here at GV Calgary! The weather has been hot, and so it was perfect for the Calgary Stampede, the "World's Greatest Outdoor Show" in July. Students really got into and we had over 300 staff and students from the school attend the rodeo on the first day.

Happy students

As well, students have been out horseback riding, hiking and enjoying events from Banff to the Dinosaur Museum in Drumheller. Next month the good times continue when we have an overnight trip that the school has organized to the spectacular Waterton National Park, on the Canadian side, just near the US border.

Graduation: Students from over 25 countries have come together in the multicultural, friendly learning atmosphere of GV. Regis Perrodin, who was awarded the Student of the Month noted that, coming from Switzerland, he learned more about international culture from students from all around. Graduating after six months at GV Calgary, Regis made a speech in which he thanked all his "great teachers" and his classmates for sharing their sense of humour with him.

Career English Diploma: At our July Graduation Event, we also had our first students graduating from the Career English Diploma, a 12 week program which focuses on English skills like conversational fluency while students also have the opportunity to practice many business skills, including presentation strategies using Power Point. Students can also take Business English for 4 or 8 weeks.

Our goal is to continue to challenge students in their learning, whether they are in General English or Specialized programs like TOEFL or IELTS Prep. Judging from the happy faces and all the English conversation at Graduation, students are meeting that challenge while having a great time in Canada's fastest growing city.
