Get the language skills to succeed in Canada.
Did you know that 70% of our School of English as a Second Language graduates go on to a diploma or degree program at George Brown College?
It opened the door for me. It’s not just learning English, it’s about friendship, it’s about knowing about yourself, and improving your life.
We want you to get a true college experience.
Our School of ESL Student Success Team provides many fun opportunities for you to practice and learn outside of the classroom. And you’ll experience all that George Brown College has to offer.
Right now, I am taking sociology at the University of Toronto. GBC helped me improve my English and writing and speaking. When I go outside of the class, I am ready because George Brown prepared me.
Continuing Education (part-time) ESL Programs
If you can’t commit to a full-time program, why not try one of our part-time certificate programs offered in the evening or on weekends?
Having the training from the George Brown ESL program, it opened a lot of opportunities for me and now while I’m still learning, I can handle my job.
