Full time early childhood programs run five days a week for three to four hours daily. The
program can be delivered either as a morning or afternoon section or integrated into a full day
program. This program is delivered in an English-immersion format and is structured for a
full-year (12 months) continuous cycle. There are four levels of programming:
• Toddler for children 2-3 yrs old;
• Nursery for children 3-4 yrs old;
• Junior Kindergarten for children 4-5 yrs old;
• Senior Kindergarten for children 5-6 yrs old. (Basic and Advanced)
Part time programs for Early Childhood typically are offered on Saturdays except for the
Moms and Tots program that is offered during the week.
Part-time Early Childhood programs, with the exception of the Moms and Tots, use the same
instructional programs as for the full time early childhood programs.
Erableoffers part time after school programs for elementary age students during the week and
on the weekend. Typically instruction for these programs ranges from 2 hours up to 6 hours
per week. Most students attend these programs either twice per week or four times per week.
Two programs, Intensive English Plus and Advanced Canadian Immersion are articulated to
students who graduate from the full ErableEarly Childhood programs.
The BridgeS program is designed to capture students with no or limited English language
skills. There is an entry level test required for BridgeS so that students may be placed at the
appropriate level.
The Elementary/Middle School (Grades 1-8) courses are equivalent to courses that would be
taught in a Canadian Elementary school but are adjusted to conform to local Ministry of
Education requirements. The delivery format is bilingual: the English, Mathematics and
Science course components and are delivered in English and the other courses required to
meet Ministry of Education requirements are taught in the local language. Erableworks with
the Schools and the local Ministry of Education to ensure that the course material and learning
outcomes match local requirements.
Erablecan support a school for high school level programming that will reflect Canadian
Provincial Ministry of Education standards and can support schools should they wish to
accredit programs with a Canadian Provincial Ministry of Education.
