Established in 1989, Global Village English Centres (GV) are private English language schools offering top-quality English language instruction among its seven locations worldwide: Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Victoria in Canada, Hawaii in the United States, and Sydney and Brisbane in Australia. All seven centers provide their students with the opportunity to register at more than one GV location or transfer between GV schools to diversify their English studies. Understanding that each student arrives at GV with specific goals and dreams, GV offers a total care service called “GV360°” that is designed to ensure that every aspect of a student’s language learning experience is addressed through personal one-on-one discussions with teachers and staff, whether for individual entry interviews to determine students’ English ability level, feedback interviews with teachers, or monthly support meetings with student counseling staff. GV pays close attention to the needs of their students by offering small classes at all ability levels from Beginner to Advanced while classes are communication-based and focus on speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary building. To provide students with a total English immersion experience, GV adheres to a strict “English Only Policy” and students must use English both in and outside of the classroom, as well as during all GV-organized activities. The directors of all seven GV schools meet regularly to review academic and curricular-related issues pertinent to the programs to ensure and uphold high academic standards among all programs.
