Hear It From Our Students

Rafael
Oxford International English School Halifax

I’m retired, and I came to Halifax with my wife and my teenage son. I joined the program to learn English while he attends high school. This program has helped me a lot. Now I can go shopping, talk to teachers and other people, and do everyday things without stress. It has also helped me support my son’s education. I can communicate with his school and understand what he needs. I recommend English for Parents course, because it really helps with English, and our kids can go to public school for free. That’s a big help for families like mine.
