Meet the Educators... Interview with Barbara Elliott, VanWest College, Canada

Why do you think your school is a Quality English school?

VanWest College is committed to being a leader in the delivery of quality English language services that ensure our students achieve their English language objectives in a safe, inclusive environment that promotes global citizenship.  We believe that our vision and values match those of Quality English and are proud to be part of an organization that represents the best independent schools and agents from around the world.

What made you join Quality English?

We joined QE as the network represents both schools and agents that have proven high standards of quality. We are appreciative of the support given by QE and the opportunities given to meet agents and colleagues from around the world at their professionally run missions.

Why would you recommend Quality English from what you know so far?

Trust and support. Quality English makes it easy for schools to network with qualified agents and for agents to contact exceptional schools. It’s a win-win!

What are the main reasons to recommend VanWest College to an international student wishing to study in English?

Canadians are welcoming and respectful of differences and when students choose to study in Canada they are choosing one of the most diverse countries in the world. VanWest has two campuses located in Vancouver and Kelowna British Columbia and each campus offers a welcoming environment where students will experience top quality English programs, clean and safe city-life and breath-taking wilderness. Outside of class students will participate in a variety of activities and will have ample opportunity to practice English while forging new friendships and learning about and enjoying Canadian culture
