The Centre linguistique du cégep de Jonquière is delighted to announce the expansion of its program to a new campus, at Collège Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption (CNDA). The CNDA is a renowned historic school, conveniently located in the heart of a small, lively Quebec town, Nicolet, just 15 minutes south of Trois-Rivières.
The CNDA is elegantly built on a magnificent estate bordered by the Nicolet River. In addition to offering an enchanting setting for a multitude of outdoor activities (vast shaded green spaces, kayaking, beach volleyball, basketball, soccer, swings, garden and campfire site), it is close to many essential amenities, such as pharmacies, hospitals, restaurants, banks, grocery stores, general stores, parks, and much more.
Furthermore, thanks to its access to the sports centre of the École nationale de police, the CNDA allows students to benefit from a weight room, gymnasiums as well as an indoor swimming pool at very advantageous rates. This unique geographic location provides a highly secure environment for students.
In addition, the CNDA is a warm and friendly place, where students have the opportunity to live in a community. Everything is located within the school itself: quarters, classrooms, cafeteria and activity rooms! We have shared quarters for 2 to 4 people, so choose your roommates!

The online summer program at the UBC English Language Institute provides a similar curriculum to our on-campus programs, in a format that is convenient for those who choose to study virtually. Students will come together in online classes to improve their English-language skills in the context of current themes such as global citizenship, social justice and digital literacy. The Explore program at UBC consists of predominantly synchronous (instructor-led) lessons supported by some asynchronous (own-time) activities.
Each day starts with virtual classroom lessons that focus on grammar, vocabulary, speaking and listening. Our online classes are interactive and use a variety of tools to create an engaging learning environment. Students will receive extensive feedback from experienced English Language Institute instructors and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with their classmates.
In addition to the classroom lessons, we offer optional sociocultural activities hosted by cultural assistants—all current UBC students. These activities provide a space to interact in a fun and exciting English environment.
