ESL Program - International students are welcome! The ESL program is designed for students of all ages and levels. Since 2010, Bee Smart has been running successful ESL programs with international students from Asia and Europe joining Canadian students in small groups to learn speaking, reading and writing skills. The ESL students did not only succeed in learning English inside the classroom, but they were also given the opportunity to apply their English skills outside of the classroom during our many educational field trips! Students visited the Distillery Historic District in downtown Toronto an internationally acclaimed village of brick-lined streets and dozens of vibrantly restored Victorian Industrial building. Students were able to apply their reading and writing skills during our tour of Toronto s First Post Office. The students visited the reading room, complete with its original fireplace, where students composed and mailed letters using traditional quills and seal their envelope with old-fashioned sealing wax and stamp. 5
