Thousands of adult immigrants come to Canada from many difficult backgrounds and they want to communicate with other people. Education helps them to achieve their goals, and Emery is a great place to get this education!

My name is Abdul. I am a student at Emery Adult Learning Centre. I came to Canada one year ago. I chose Emery Adult Learning Centre because I’d heard about its good reputation. When I came to Canada, I asked my relatives who had been living here for a long time and other fellow workers where I should go to school. Everybody pointed toward EALC. I went to other schools too, but I didn't find any like EALC.

The reason that I liked this school at first sight was because this school was bigger than the other schools and it has a beautiful campus. Secondly, I saw that the student services (which help students to plan their future), the helpful and highly qualified teachers,  and the other students all treated each other like a friend.

When I got admitted to Emery, the consultant gave me ESL classes but I wanted to choose grade 11 or grade 12 English. Actually, I thought my English was very good because I was studying for a B.Sc. (Bachelor of Computer Sciences) back home and I have been studying English since I was child, but I was wrong. When I started the ESL class, I found myself in the middle of the class.  With the help of good and experienced teachers, I have improved my English more than I expected.

I would like to become a police officer and for that they want a high school diploma.  My second option is university. Emery Adult Learning Centre is helping me to get my high school diploma and to make my dream come true. In this school, I like the way of teaching because the teachers teach us in a friendly and practical way. We understand more than the just the content of the course.  I think Emery Adult Learning Centre provides us with different skills and training programs that other schools do not.

The value of Adult Education in the 21^st century is very important because education helps our economy to grow and makes us aware of the laws and customs of Canada.
