1) One group will be here for 4 weeks to participate in an Intensive English program. At the close of their program they will then go to communities around the province to study at Saskatchewan High Schools for the 2011-2012 school year. This will be a co-ed group of students. The dates for this program are from JULY 23 - AUGUST 20. These students will attend classes at St. Mary High School on the week days.
2)The second program will be here for 2 weeks.All the students in this group will be girls. They will be studying English and will also do a few tours in the area. In this program we invite older host siblings to join in the classes to assist with increasing the frequency of English conversation. The program dates are JULY 22 - AUGUST 3. There will be classes on the Sunday and Monday of the long weekend with this program. Their study centre will be at Rivier Academy.
