Social Events
Canadian Academy of Learning recognizes the importance of
social activities. We encourage students to use their language
skills outside the classroom. Birthday celebrations, special
lunches, international theme nights and parties are held
so students can share in each others’ cultures. Students
can also practice their English through fun exercises and
taking part in community events.
