The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
The school was founded in 1996 by Lesley Bogue and has grown steadily since then. In 2009 the school was taken over by the Sprachenzentrum Wöhler e.K. Germany. We renamed the school English Encounters in 2010 and relocated to downtown Burlington in April 2010.
All of our teachers are certified ESL professionals with lots of experience. They all have a university degree and a special certificate to teach English. In addition, they are chosen for their personalities as well as we believe that friendly, enthusiastic and patient teachers are essential! They want your stay to be happy and educationally rewarding.
When you arrive, you will take a test to determine your level and to help your teacher prepare your individual study plan. Upon full and successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate and progress report.
We will meet you at Toronto Airport and take you to your host family.
