Welcome!

Welcome to ESL Outreach’s new blog!

In Outreach, you can be a VCC student AND study near your home or workplace. We have classes at five off-campus locations in Vancouver and one in Burnaby. Most have classes two mornings or four mornings a week. We have evening classes at our Burnaby centre and at VCC’s Downtown Campus. You can study on Saturday at the Downtown Campus, too. Classes start at Literacy level for people with no English and go up to Upper Advanced.

As VCC students, Outreach students have experienced, professional VCC teachers. They can use any VCC services like the library or career advising. They can change to classes on campus or move between centres each term.

If you want to take a class at a community location, you can come to that centre on registration day. A teacher will give you a short test. Then we will find the right class for you. For evening and Saturday classes at the Downtown Campus, you need to visit our Assessment Centre at the Broadway Campus.

In each Outreach class, the teacher designs the lessons to meet the needs of that class. Our students have fun and learn a lot of English, too. We hope you can join us!
