Why Study at
Concordia
College?
1) We have Instructors and staff that get to know you personally, and give you the guidance and support you need to establish and achieve your goals.
2) When your classes begin at the college; you are tested so that we can establish your current level of reading comprehension and your verbal communication skills.
3) Each of our International students is then provided (as part of your program), 12 weeks of Academic English at the level that would be most beneficial. This instruction is given at different times to students. Some students benefit most if this is given at the start. This however is decided once the test results are reviewed with the individual student.
4) Each student is offered a month to research their course of study and is given the opportunity to transfer into another program (of the same duration) if they choose.
5) In the classroom we offer both instructor facilitated and instructor led classes to make sure you fully understand each concept and technique. If you need more time to master a lesson we give you the time and help you need to guarantee your success.
6) Our classes are kept small, with an average of 16 students, to ensure you get the personal support you require.

Good Evening,
Father John, Members of the Governing Board, Honored Guests, Teachers and Faculty, Graduating Students, Visitors and Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Christy. I am an international student. A year ago I came to Canada, I knew my English was bad, I felt very nervous, so I didn’t talk very much.
After I came to Concordia College, everyone in our school was very nice. When I had questions, teachers were very patient to answer my questions, even if I asked the same question many times.
I love Concordia College. I feel very comfortable in school, I feel like I am at my home. I have improved my English and my confidence a lot because of everyone’s help in school.
I know life is hard, especially on my own, I have to face difficulties in my life, I have to solve problems by myself, but I don’t feel lonely, that’s because of all the people who are around me.
Finally, I should say thank you to my dear parents, although they are not here. They give me lots of support and courage, I am blessed because of my parents.
Congratulations and good luck to every one of you.
Thank you. Shimin (Christy) Zeng-Office Administration |

Good Evening,
Dr. Hinton, Members of the Governing Board, Honored Guests, Reverend
Father John, Teachers and Faculty, Graduating Students, family and
friends, Ladies and Gentlemen
This year I have the honor of addressing you on behalf of the
graduating students. I would like to share with you my experiences
at Concordia College and what they have meant to me.
People attend school for a variety of reasons and with many hopes
and goals in mind. Some, like me, are looking for direction and
education provides the path, others go to college to enhance skills
and experience they possess in order to be able to find a better
job, while others are on a mission of self-improvement.
A year ago I came to Canada as a new student at Concordia College.
As with all of us graduating today, I came in pursuit of an
education and a dream of the future. Today marks a milestone in that
pursuit.
For me, alone in this country and far from my native home and my
loved ones, Concordia College provided a safe haven where I could
learn and study, get to know new people, make new friends, seek help
and friendly advice and, collect lasting memories & impressions that
will stay with me throughout my days. I remember those first few
days at this school, so mixed with both fear and excitement and I am
grateful that I was here, at this place at that time in my life.
I can’t possibly begin to imagine what being a part of this college
has meant to each of you. I can say that I believe that the people
here treated each of us with respect and understanding, that we were
given every opportunity to learn and improve, that our educational
needs were provided for and that we leave today not simply as
graduates armed with a piece of paper in our hand, but armed with
knowledge and understanding that will help us meet the coming
challenges head on.
As one journey ends and another about to begin, I would presume to
offer each of you some advice: take the good with you; make it part
of your present, bring it into your future, share it with others.
Remember your hard work, remember the support and sacrifices made by
your families during those long nights of study, remember how
amazing it feel to learn, to discover and to grow. Remember what you
feel right now and be proud of what you have accomplished.
Congratulations and good luck to each and every one of you.
