English as a Second Language (ESL)

The ESL Department provides a warm and welcoming learning environment for all students! It offers English Language Learners the support they need to adjust to a new culture, new school environment, achieve high levels of literacy and make a positive contribution to Canadian society. Students of any grade may be placed in ELD or ESL courses. The ESL program at CCH provides special attention to students who are learning English so they can gain the skills required to pursue Academic or Applied English/content specific courses. These students come with many gifts and talents to enrich our school community and we strive to support them with compassion and affirmation.
