English At First

We are a school which offers English Language Instruction to Newcomers to Canada (the LINC program). Our school started at this site in September of 1990.

This is a program offered free of charge to our students which also provides high-quality childcare free to those who need it.

Transportation assistance is also available for those who qualify.

The school is an incorporated registered charity formed for the purpose of assisting newcomers to Canada and is run by a Board of Directors. The Board is contracted and funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to provide Literacy to Level 4 English instruction using the LINC program. Small grants have also been received periodically from The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation ( www.kwcf.ca).
