ESL Program Introduction

You may study at Queen's University School of English in the following programs: English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Business Internship Program, Canadian English Experience (Winter) and Canadian English Experience (Summer).

The 12-Week EAP Program features an innovative, integrated skills, content-based curriculum. The short-term courses use a fluency-based curriculum that focuses on developing oral/aural competence in English.

In the 13-week Business Internship Program, you will gain classroom and workplace experience in Canada, allowing you to develop your English language skills in a professional context.

The Canadian English Experience programs are available in both the winter and summer for 3-4 weeks each and integrate English language learning with Canadian cultural content, trips and guided excursions. Trips are included with the winter program only but are offered at additional costs for the summer session.

In addition, the School hosts groups whose programs are tailored to their specific needs. Please contact us for more information.

Housing/Accommodation Info

Queen's School of English can help with two types of accommodation for students: a room in a Queen’s University residence, or a placement with a local Homestay host/family. Both of these types of accommodation have limited availability, so students should apply early in order to obtain their preferred choice of accommodation. Many students prefer to arrange their own accommodation. We can help with information about finding accommodation in Kingston.
