PATHWAYS & PARTNERSHIPSPreparing for university demands a high level of academic English. This involves developing a strong command of academic reading, note taking and lecture skills, and of course, academic writing and research skills. The best way to demonstrate a high level of academic English is to measure these skills against an internationally recognized assessment exam. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is known as the world’s language proficiency test because it is so widely used by institutions of higher learning in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and around the world.
The GV EAP program (Canada only) helps students prepare the skills they need for entering university. Each school has a wide variety of specially designed elective classes which focus on study skills, note-taking, presentation, academic writing and research. Students who successfully complete this program will be ready to succeed at university. GV has pathway and partnership agreements with quality post-secondary institutions in Canada and the USA. Students can receive counselling and assistance with university and college applications.

THAT’S WHAT THE GV EXPERIENCE IS ALL ABOUT - SERIOUS LEARNING, SERIOUS FUN!
Our Activity Coordinators take great pride in organ-izing these culturally enriching experiences that will demonstrate the uniqueness of each school’s location.
Each month a new creative calendar will be posted in each GV school, so you can see the full range and diversity each school has to offer.
While you are taking part in these carefully planned activities, you and your fellow students from around the world will be able to practice your communication skills developed in the classrooms and have a great time, too.
