• We build Community at ECI!Our Newcomer Club offers all kinds of support and activities for newcomer students, in person and virtually.
Our Community partners:
•“North York Community House” helps our newcomer families with settlement, health care, job interviews, PR card, refugee status, visa questions etc.
•“Culturelink” organises fun and safe socially distanced activities for newcomers.
ECI offers ongoing support:
• “Most students who have completed their ESL […] courses will therefore continue to need support from their subject teachers to achieve success.”
• The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 to 12: English as Second Language & English Literacy Development, 2007
• This is why we work as a team to support our newcomers at ECI in all subjects!
